Genuine BMW part 61 21 8 381 717: Battery, empty. The number stamped on the part is 61218381717; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8381717. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Battery with holder. It supersedes the older number 8363902, so a part carrying that number is the same part. BMW has since replaced it with 8381714.

It fits the E36 sedan, coupe, touring and compact (318i, 318ti, 320i, 323i, 325i, 328i and M3, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 and other engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 22 diagrams, among them Battery (61_0065) and Battery, empty (61_0141). It weighs about 15 kg (33 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
