BMW Dashboard diagram for 740i, 740iL, 750iL

A dashboard air vent is a component of a vehicle’s HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system, located on the dashboard. It directs airflow from the blower system into the cabin, allowing the driver and passengers to control where air is distributed (e.g., face, feet, or windshield). These vents usually feature adjustable louvers to change airflow direction and, in some cases, flow control wheels to open or close the vent.

• Loose or Stuck Louvers – Vent fins don’t stay in place, flop around, or get stuck, limiting airflow control.
• Cracks or Broken Pieces – Visible damage, missing fins, or broken adjustment tabs that reduce function and aesthetics.
• Weak or Uneven Airflow – Airflow feels restricted, misdirected, or uneven compared to other vents, often due to internal blockage or damaged vent mechanisms.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
