Description

8/8/2024: 2x52 failed after 2 years, so I redrew the whole part for better durability. 8/14/2024: 3x52 has also received durability updates. 8/15/2024: ventOnly, blank, 1x52, and 1x60 have all received durability updates. 2x60 is the only one that has not. If someone comes across this and needs a 2x60 I'll update it, but for now I'm done updating this. Replacement center vent for BMW e36 in the following configurations: I have only printed the 2 52mm gauge version. All of them should work, but I'm not positive on the 3 52mm gauge one. I used a ziptie on the shorter mounting tab to the screw hole on the top of the radio to pull the left end in a little, otherwise it sticks out a bit.
