Genuine BMW part 51 16 8 222 181: Illuminated ring. The number stamped on the part is 51168222181; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8222181. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Mirrors, trims, storage compartments. BMW has since replaced it with 2493684.

It fits the E36 sedan, coupe, convertible and touring (318i, 320i, 323i, 328i and M3, 1992–1999), with the M43, M44, M52, S50 or S52 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 8 diagrams, among them Storing Partition Cover (51_2369) and Storing Partition (51_3086).

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