Lateral engine hood sealing — a genuine BMW part, number 51 71 8 165 273. The number stamped on the part is 51718165273; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8165273. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts. It supersedes the older number 8122582, 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 5 diagrams, among them Engine Hood/Mounting Parts (41_1048) and Engine Hood/Mounting Parts (41_1049). It weighs about 255 g (0.6 lb).

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