Need New Dash Panel 2017 750i HUD
Any suggestions on where to get one aside from the dealership? The leather is pulling away from the panel near the windshield. I've looked at videos and the replace, while tedious, does not look that hard. I can't find anywhere that sells them. Black leather. Any help is appreciated!!

There are lots of parts sellers who may have them. Google them. Also of course are junkyards.

Have you thought about talking to a trim shop to see what options they can offer, either a repair or a re trim?

Have you simply gone to any of the online part database sites to look up the 11 digit BMW part number…then type “BMW xx xx x xxx xxx” (where x = the actual numbers) into a google search box? The leather dash for a 2017 BMW 7 series or a G11 7 series in general is NOT going to be a highly sought after item…most options will probably be either new or from a dismantler/junk yard.
BTW, you need more than “black leather” as a key search word. There are two types of dashes…one with HUD and one without HUD. Again, go to one of the part database sited, enter the last 7 digits of your VIN, the go to the diagram for the instrument cluster and select the 11 digit BMW part number that would use to replace yours…then google that BMW part number to find vendors that are selling that part. If you are not familiar with any online part database sites…here’s 3:

A good search engine for the junkyards near you is car-part.com.
Fill out their menus and location. the B&W sound system may be a dash difference if you have that, but I’m not positive of that. As to the problem, I have a dash wrinkle, too. I took it to a shop with excellent credentials nearby and had him look it over. He didn’t want to tackle it and said it’s fairly common defect on leather dash vehicles if left unprotected in the Sun. He mentioned a Ferrari he looked at and it’s prevalent on the newer 3LT Corvettes. Although declining the job, his approach would be to remove the windshield and effect the repair from outside the car, or, a much bigger job, pull the dash and recover it removed from the vehicle. Good luck! I’m interested in what you find. |

Right. Not sure why people act like removing the dash pad is the same difficulty level as assembling the space shuttle with tweezers. It has to come out for a number of repair jobs, so they don't make it that hard.

Hi everyone. Ultimately, this comes down to being my fault for not conditioning the leather, and the car spending too much time in the hot, southern sun. I checked literally every high-end upholstery shop in my area and no one would touch it.
So, I’ve ordered a new one. Expensive lesson to learn, but if your car is not regularly garaged, you should have a sunshield for your dash. |

It's good that you explained it because it's a warning for people who have a dashboard trimmed with leather. I will honestly say that I personally suspected an incompetently cut windshield and the leather cover was cut during the replacement.
Well, luckily in Ireland there is no harsh sun which I avoid anyway and I always try to put the car in the shade. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I hope you can fix it at some reasonable cost. Share the details of the costs and the work done/its result. Last edited by LuckyW; 03-04-2023 at 04:00 AM.. |
