    Steering column trim

    When I purchased my 330i the trim piece under the steering column was off. I have the trim piece but am missing the hardware to reattach it. RealOEM doesn't show what type of fasteners are used.

    See if there are holes in the trim piece and corresponding screw holes in the column. That'll tell you if the piece is held in place with screws. I believe it is.

    There are definatly holes in the trim and matching holes in the column. Holes in the column are not threaded though.
