Just ordered the Alcantara / Carbon interior trim kit for my F32.

All listings i have seen detail it as a five piece kit , door handle covers x 2 , centre i drive piece , centre dash piece , RHS vent cover.

Blue Bell Crewe have it listed as a six piece kit with the extra item being a cover for the LHS air vent

So has anyone who has fitted the above kit replaced the LHS vent cover or is this just a "new" addition to the kit ?

Should be the same as f30 except number of door handles. Left vent stays untouched, carbon extends under it.

There is no LH vent piece.

I have been doing a bit of Googling and , on mine , the RHS vent cover has the aluminium inlay as does the LHS vent cover.

When you replace the RHS cover with the carbon / alcantara then you loose the aluminium insert , this would mean the RHS one is different to the LHS one , which still has the aluminium insert, so the replacement (extra) vent for the LHS is just plain black according to the part numbers to match the new one on the right.

The above is the only explanation that i can think of.

This is a pic of the "extra" vent cover , sourced by the part number on the invoice.

That will be it, only for LCI cars as pre LCI’s didn’t have the silver surround.
