This is a genuine BMW grooved ball bearing, part number 26 12 1 225 071. The number stamped on the part is 26121225071; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1225071. You will find it on our Drivetrain & Axle shelf, under Other Drive Shaft parts. It supersedes the older number 1209590, 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 101 diagrams, among them Drive Shaft-Cent.Bearing-Universal Joint (26_0092) and Drive Shaft-Cen.Bearing-Const.Vel.Joint (26_0108). It weighs about 110 g (0.2 lb).

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