15 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→This is a genuine BMW compensating element, part number 63 12 7 280 779. The number stamped on the part is 63127280779; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7280779. You will find it on our Lighting shelf, under Headlight. It supersedes the older number 7222462, 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 29 diagrams, among them Front side panel/Mounting parts (41_2256) and Single components for headlight (63_1152). It weighs about 20 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.
