BMW Accessories Odds & Ends

This page identifies some bits & pieces for various BMWs that have (among other things) been discussed on the BMW Mailing list.

Most of these images and information came from 1998 BMW accessories catalog (USA distribution) that I obtained 3/22/98 from BMW USA itself (BMW Publication #PD1-0997-75M). And of course this information is © copyright 1998 BMWUSA I just put it here for the benefit of list members.

PIC Alarm LED
With all of the talk about the neat factory alarm LED indicator, I found the exact unit in the USA brochure. What a great replacement for the "drill-a-hole-in-a-blank" job. OEM by SIEMENS (79DB000) and it also requires an AMP connector (962 314 1) Just In (3/26/98)- Jim Powell confirmed the part number as a valid US part (as a "control lamp") and it is available from your local stealer. Thanks Jim!
Any BMW with "standard" option holes 65 75 8 357 417 $17.30 (USD)
