BMW E39 Glove Box Latch & Lock Handle (1997-2003 5 Series) – OEM 51168163017

Got a BMW E39, like a 525i from '97 to '03?

Is your glove box latch busted or feeling loose?

Here's the fix.

This is a genuine OEM used latch assembly.

It's in good working condition – we tested it.

The handle and the back panel have some minor cosmetic surface marks from normal use over the years, but it's totally solid and ready to go back in.

The mechanism is good.

It comes with the mounting screws, so you have everything you need to swap it out.

The part numbers are 51168163017 (the main number) and 51168168048.

It's a direct replacement for your original.

These old BMW latches are known to get a little finicky, so having a good, used OEM part is often the best route.

Don't mess with flimsy aftermarket stuff.

Get this one in there and keep your glove box closed tight.
