It's like pulling teeth with some widescreen nav sellers. Specially when everyone says their 16:9 fit E53-E39-E38, but I know the bezel is different. I know E38 is a bit more round.. found one on bimmerstuff.com, by the picture.. can you tell if it is the right one?
part number confirms, plus it looks just like my 01's.

I know what you mean... I picked up a widescreen last summer; supposedly it came out of a 740iL in New Jersey. The Ebay listing didn't show the bezel, but I emailed the seller and he said he had it and would send it. Once I installed it, I was wondering why the bottom edge felt weird. Yup -- it was the non-E38 one (65528385451). So, I ended up finding the correct one and have that installed now (65528385450). The other bezel is in great condition and sitting in my garage. I need to find someone here in the San Diego area that could use it...
