The number stamped on the part is 21517521471; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7521471. You will find it on our Clutch & Flywheel shelf, under Clutch operator with lever. It supersedes the older number 1223366, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits every E36 body style (318i, 318ti, 320i, 323i and 325i, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 31 diagrams, among them Clutch (21_0093) and Clutch (21_0290). It weighs about 220 g (0.5 lb). It also comes in BMW kits Set Clutch Parts (0415938) and Set Rmfd-clutch parts asbestos-free (1223103) and 12 more.
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
