E39 Wood/Aluminium Trim Clips

The plastic clips with steel perimeter inserts that hold the E39’s wood and aluminium trim panels in place. These crack constantly — forum threads are full of owners who’ve broken every single one trying to remove trim for radio upgrades or cleaning. Printed in PETG for the right balance of grip and flex.

Why you need these: They crack every time you remove trim. Buy a set before you start any interior work. OEM part 51.45.8.161.557 — still available but overpriced from the dealer.

Fits: All E39 5 Series — 520i, 523i, 525i, 528i, 530i, 535i, 540i, M5 (1996-2003)
