Transmission Tunnel Pad for 230i ?

Miata13 · 12-21-2020, 09:19 PM

I see that the M240 had a pad on the driver's side of the transmission tunnel. I assume that's available to order as I'd like one for my '19 230i.

Anyone help with a part reference....life is too short for my local BMW dealer parts guy to figure it out.

TIA.

I have it and it is too far forward for my leg to even touch it.

Same. It may as well not exist. 5'10 and I have no idea who the pad is designed for. Way too far away.

Thanks BrettKA7 & Jzeiler4 for the feedback...no use pursuing that part if its not effective. I'm only 5'6" so suspect it won't help me either.

I was going to try and rip mine off and relocate it until I saw this... Guess I will make one to glue on farther back. But here is the PN in case you want to try it out, about $44. 51169266120

Nice find - not sure if it is worth $200 - to me at least.

Well...after seeing the BMW part and couldn't for the life of me figure out how it would be mounted to the transmission tunnel with all those attachment points, I just sent in my order for a Bimmer Master Pieces knee pad in matching black leather/red stitching with its double stick tape attachment method. I'll call it a "belated" holiday gift to me...from me! Thanks for the reference!

Funny how your perspective changes in a years time. I ordered one myself just before Christmas when I saw how long it really was. But I am still waiting on mine , ordered it on the 6th and it shipped on the 13th.
