Original BMW Center Dashboard Air Vent for BMW 3 Series and M3 (2006–2013)

Set in the middle of the dash, Original BMW center dashboard air vent 64-22-9-130-458 directs fresh air from the HVAC system into the cabin of E90, E91, E92, and E93 BMW 3 Series models and the M3 from 2006–2013. BMW calls it the fresh air grille, center, and it weighs 349 g (0.8 lb). It is sold as a single piece and made in the Czech Republic. Dash vents of this type use adjustable louvers to aim the airflow, and many add a wheel to open or close the outlet. A broken vent looks rough on the dash and also cuts how well the HVAC system can move air where you want it.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The word center in BMW's name marks this as the middle dash outlet, not one of the outboard vents, so match it to the position you are replacing. BMW began production of this version in January 2008 and rates it as interchangeable with earlier production, which lets it replace superseded number 64-22-9-151-173 on 2006 and 2007 cars. The part also cross-references to 64-22-9-123-301 and 64-22-6-924-082.

Common Questions

Will it fit a 2006 or 2007 car built before January 2008?
Yes. BMW marks this vent as interchangeable with the earlier part used on those cars.

What signs point to a worn vent?
Louvers that flop, stick, or will not hold position, cracked housings, missing fins, and broken adjustment tabs are the common ones.

One vent blows weaker than the others. Is the vent the cause?
Weak or uneven airflow from one outlet is often traced to a blockage or a damaged mechanism inside that vent, so compare it against the other dash outlets first.
