Genuine BMW part 51 21 8 208 423: Left micro switch door catch. The number stamped on the part is 51218208423; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8208423. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts. It supersedes the older numbers 1387631 and 1977703, so a part carrying any of them 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 8 diagrams, among them Door lock front (41_0939) and Front Door Control/Door Lock (41_1061). It weighs about 19 g (under 0.1 lb).

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