[QUOTE="wingzee, post: 668673, member: 22730"] Despite already put up the ride for sale, she's still one of the top priorities. All have to be maintained in tip-top condition. Recently, after few days of parking under the hot sun when car is sent to the mech to overhaul the rear axle, the rear ashtray is shot. Must be due to the temperature. Decided to pay BA a visit and get a replacement. The ashtray which came originally with the car has a chrome strip on the slider cover but BA only carries stock which are without the chrome strip. Since looks-wise the difference is minimal, it makes no difference to me. Since it's a common part to broke in our E46s, it's good to share the some info with everyone. P/N is 5116 8225 988 and is selling for RM190 at Bavarian Auto.
