Side vent clip fell inside the body
When I was trying to remove the side vents, one of the clips (on both sides) fell inside the body of the car. Is there a way to remove it without having to disassemble major parts?

No, I just left them in there for now. Mine broke from the black plastic piece which is one piece together with the vent. I think you are talking about the white clips though.

Yup, one of the white clips popped out and went into the fender. The “vent” is being held in place with 2 just fine but I figure it’s easy enough to pull it off and get a 3rd clip on there

Did anyone find replacement clips? The same thing happened to me. These seem like one time use clips as none of them fit right. I called bmw and they said it looks like you have to order the whole vent to get them. That’s crazy

If you can take a photo close to right above the clip, and take some measurements for me I can 3d print these.

The good news is a replacement vent comes with all of them, and is only ~$30-40. It is the on BMW part that I found NOT to be priced out of this world.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I lost my clips inside the fender as well and cannot find these clips. Just went to the dealer and they want $87 just for one side vent cover... just so I can get those clips.

When i was installing my carbon fiber vents and had to adjust them a few times, the clips fell down inside. If you take the plastic cover underneath the car, the clip will be there.

I have 5 of the white clips when I replaced the stock vents with MP carbon fiber vents. If anyone wants them, I’ll mail you the 5 clips I have. If you only need a couple, let me so hopefully this can help a couple guys. Just PM me your address.
