Went to a classic car show today,and had my F10 B5 Bi Turbo on display.
Before I left, I asked SWMBO to remove the display number from the dashboard, instead of picking it up she managed to push it down the vent.
The paper is 8" by 3".
Will it do any damage, or will I have to take the car apart to get it out.
Tried putting blower on full blast, but that didn't work.

Something skinny with double sided tape on the end if it's not gone down to far.

Just don't put the heater on full in the winter as the paper will catch fire.

Probably happen when it's in the garage, at night, thus burning down the house and putting your life in grave danger.
It may even spread to next door and kill them all to death too.

Probably won't happen, so please - don't have nightmares, do sleep well.

Removing a dash isn't actually that difficult a job. Probably in line with changing brake pads.

You bd...funny though.


OP, don't listen to him.


Get a vacuum cleaner, get a bit of pipe that will fit down the vent, join the vac hose to the pipe with some tape then put the pipe down the vent with the vac on. do this with the air blowing full and if you want you could do it naked. Its up to you how daft you want to look while you get defeated by a small bit of paper.

This wont be easy, it should be but it wont.

Do you mean the gap between the base of the windscreen and the top of the dash? If so, I've managed to retrieve plenty of car park tickets in SWMBO's 6er from there!

Get a lump hammer and smash your hand flat so you can slip it down the orifice.
