Purpose and function of the rear console vent

The presented vent is dedicated to the rear part of the center console in BMW 7 Series E65, E66, and E67 generation models. Its task is to evenly distribute fresh air to the rear zone, which improves thermal comfort for passengers and allows for full utilization of the air conditioning system's capabilities.

This component is an integral part of the interior assembly from the Dashboards group, responsible for the aesthetic finish of the center tunnel and the proper routing of air ducts in the rear cabin area.

Appearance and color matching

The vent is finished in Dark Silver Metallic - 871, allowing it to harmonize perfectly with factory center console panels in luxury versions of the BMW 7 Series. The metallic finish emphasizes the prestigious character of the interior while remaining resistant to typical signs of wear, such as light scratches or dirt.

The color and geometry of the grille are consistent with the factory BMW design, making it easy to maintain a cohesive stylistic line of the dashboard and center tunnel without the need to modify other trim elements.

Vehicle placement and installation aspects

The vent is designed for installation in the rear part of the interior, in the center console between the front seats, facing the rear-seat passengers. This placement ensures:

• effective air delivery to the rear cabin zone,
• convenient access to airflow direction adjustment,
• preservation of factory ergonomics for vent operation.

As an original BMW part, the grille is structurally prepared for installation in the designated mounting points within the center console, which reduces labor time and minimizes the risk of improper fitment with surrounding panels.

Product characteristics and application

The offered vent is a part from the BMW group, sourced from the aftermarket, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged or worn component while maintaining the original specification. The product is particularly useful in situations where:

• mechanical damage to the slats or the vent housing has occurred,
• aesthetic restoration of the rear console is necessary,
• the factory state of the interior is being restored after repairs or modifications.

Thanks to the adherence to the factory design, the vent works with existing air ducts and does not require interference with the air conditioning system or the dashboard structure.

Benefits of using an original BMW vent

Using an original rear console vent in the BMW 7 Series E65/E66/E67 allows for maintaining high interior finish quality and proper operation of the ventilation system. Key advantages include:

• Factory fitment – dimensional and structural compatibility with the center console and other dashboard elements.
• Cohesive aesthetics – Dark Silver Metallic - 871 color matched to original panels, without the shade differences typical of aftermarket replacements.
• Rear passenger comfort – the ability to precisely direct airflow in the rear part of the cabin.
