This is a genuine BMW compensating plate, part number 26 12 1 229 541. The number stamped on the part is 26121229541; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1229541. You will find it on our Drivetrain & Axle shelf, under Other Drive Shaft parts.

It fits the E46 sedan, touring and compact (318d, 318td, 320d and 320td, 1998–2004), with the M47 or M47N engines.
