Euro Delivery folks - did the port remove your warning triangle brackets?

krhodes1 · 11-27-2015, 01:27 PM

Kind of annoying - I went to put the warning triangle holder back in the car and the brackets are missing! Sent an e-mail to my CA, she said the dealership didn't do it. Asked her to order me another pair, they are only ~$1 each per REALOEM.

Hopefully not going to get into the whole "can't order Euro parts" stupidity. Though worst case, I will have my buddy in the Netherlands get them for me, but what a PITA for no good reason!

Also hope I don't end up with two threads for this, posted this earlier but it doesn't show up in the thread list. Odd.

Mine were not removed. I think it is hit and miss depending on VPC processing car.

shark715 · 11-27-2015, 07:34 PM

Ours are missing too. Do you know the part number?

SteveInfante · 11-27-2015, 08:59 PM

Luckily mine were still there.

Mine were removed but not by the dealer.

They left the brackets... but swiped my triangle. I sort of remembered not to leave anything in the trunk, so stashed my vests and first aid kit in my luggage. Being pinned up in the brackets, though, the triangle completely slipped my mind.

My clips were removed on redelivery. In their place were black plugs. Can you post the real oem part #?

51497167548 Bracket for Warning Triangle. RealOEM says $.81 ea, you need two.

I just picked up my car tonight from my dealer. My warning triangle clips are still there thankfully.

To close the loop on this, my dealership got me a pair of brackets and paid for them. Would have been $3.60 for the pair, not including BMWCCA discount if I had to pay for them.

For those missing this, here is what it looks like with the brackets and warning triangle in place:
