Genuine BMW part 11 11 7 781 496: Crankshaft with bearing shells (exchange unit). The number stamped on the part is 11117781496; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7781496. BMW's catalog calls it “Exch-Crankshaft with Bearing Shells”. You will find it on our Engine shelf, under Engine block. It supersedes the older number 7781497, 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.
