Purpose and fitment

The grille is designed for the rear ventilation zone in facelifted (LCI) BMW 5 Series E60/E61 models. The construction matches the factory dimensions and geometry of the center tunnel, facilitating installation in place of the original part without the need for modifications. This ensures a seamless connection with other components in the Dashboards and center console group.

Construction and functionality of the air vent grille

The rear air vent in the 5 Series is responsible for the thermal comfort of passengers in the back seat, and its proper operation depends on the condition of the air-directing grille. This component allows for:

• adjustment of the airflow direction both horizontally and vertically,
• even distribution of air from the air conditioning or heating system,
• maintaining an aesthetic, consistent look for the rear part of the center tunnel.

The grey color of the grille is matched to typical interior configurations of this BMW generation, allowing for a uniform cabin character without visible shade differences.

Characteristics of the used part

The item comes from disassembly, meaning it is a used part that retains its factory geometry and mounting method. This type of component is a good choice for maintenance repairs when the existing grille has suffered mechanical damage, cracking, or excessive wear. Using an original aftermarket part allows you to maintain proper fitment with the dashboard and console while reducing costs compared to a new part.

Benefits of using an original air vent grille

Using a factory air vent grille in the rear cabin of a BMW 5 Series E60/E61 LCI provides several significant benefits:

• Consistent interior look – maintaining the original design line and color of the trim elements.
• Proper ventilation system operation – correct air direction and stable operation of the adjustment mechanism.
• Hassle-free installation – perfect fit for factory mounting points in the rear tunnel area.
• Compatibility with the dashboard – no need to adapt other interior elements.
