25 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→Cap — a genuine BMW part, number 51 17 8 129 291. The number stamped on the part is 51178129291; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8129291. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Bumper, rear. It supersedes the older number 4181580, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
BMW's catalog records no E36 or E46 it is fitted to; it belongs to other BMW models.
BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Folding top compartment lid (41_0797) and Folding top compartment lid (41_0798). It weighs about 1 g (under 0.1 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
