Genuine BMW part 51 71 8 174 490: Blind plug. The number stamped on the part is 51718174490; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8174490. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts. It supersedes the older number 0141035, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits the E36 compact (318ti, 1995–1999), with the M42 or M44 engines — and the European-market versions. It also fits the E46 convertible (323i, 325i, 330i and M3, 2000–2006), with the M52, M54 or S54 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 17 diagrams, among them Sealing cap/plug (51_2049) and Sealing cap/plug (51_2204). BMW's catalog calls for two of these at each place it is fitted.

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