Anas, Like I said a little earlier, give these guys a try: IHKAButtons.com. They sell the exact same buttons for US$20 each + S & H. You'll be doing well to buy just one button from anywhere else. Make sure you read the install instructions page as well. It should end up way cheaper as long as you don't require 4 or more. Your dealer is probably talking about buying the whole fascia panel.
Note: If you decide to go the dealer route, don't try and use the actual fascia panel, as that component is a throw away.

ok IHKABUTTONS.COM cant sell them for $20. anymore , i sent them an email to order the fan speed button they replied saying the price now is $55.00 a button because they cant buy them direct from the manufacturer anymore , they have to buy them from bmw as part of complete sets , so i will come out cheaper buying the set of all buttons from dealership @ $100.00 , cause i need 3 buttons , fan speed + auto + max a/c.

OK, fair enough. Buy the full fascia kit from dealer.

I think that IHKAButtons.com should update their website so as not to misguide the public. I'd push them though to sell at advertised price. Over here the Office of Fair Trading would back you on this one, probably give them a fine and make sure that you purchase for advertised price.

Ask the dealer SA about using the actual fascia piece, I think he'll tell you it's a throw away. Good luck.

Is it just me, or is the website not working for others?
