Dashboard Air Vent Set - 2011 528i

When sourcing BMW F10 5-Series dashboard vents for your 2011 528i, target 2010-2013 pre-LCI salvage vehicles to ensure cosmetic matching with your interior trim. The outer dashboard vents (64-22-9-264-449 left, 64-22-9-264-450 right) and center assemblies (64-22-9-264-445/446) interchange across all F10/F11 variants regardless of engine—from the N52 528i to the N63 550i—but avoid 2014+ LCI models and F07 GT models which use incompatible designs. Inspect closely for broken adjustment wheels, the most common failure point, and check that the foam duct seals remain intact to prevent air leaks. During extraction, pry gently from the dashboard face to avoid snapping the fragile mounting clips; the center vent assembly requires removing the center console trim panel to access rear mounting tabs. Verify casting marks molded into the plastic housing, as these supplier codes often outlast paper labels.
