Cigarette lighter plastic holder?

[brandonbio]

I'm in need of the plastic piece that holds the cigarette lighter in place. All I can find online is the female socket and the male end. Nothing on the plastic clip that holds it in place. Any information on a name, part number, or a place to find one is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

That's part of the ashtray frame and is NLA. Part #51 16 1 906 887

ebay or junk yard is your best bet.

+1, the clip becomes brittle over time because of heat from the ciggy element.

Try to locate one that doesn't look like it's had much use

My experience had been that the online BMW dealer sites (getbmwparts.com, etc) will let you order NLA parts and they will just stay on backorder forever, until you cancel the order.
