Genuine BMW part 11 21 1 438 781: Crankshaft with bearing shells (exchange unit). The number stamped on the part is 11211438781; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1438781. BMW's catalog calls it “Exch-Crankshaft with Bearing Shells”. You will find it on our Engine shelf, under Crankshaft with bearing. It supersedes the older number 1438780, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits the E46 sedan and coupe (316i and 316i 1.6, 1998–2001), with the M43 engine.

BMW draws it on the Crankshaft with bearing shells (11_2058) diagram. It weighs about 14 kg (31 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
