This is a genuine BMW left operating rod, part number 51 21 8 254 087. The number stamped on the part is 51218254087; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8254087. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts.

It fits the E46 coupe and convertible (323i, 325i, 328i, 330i and M3, 2000–2006), with the M52, M54, M56 or S54 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 2 diagrams, among them Door mechanism front (up to 09/00) (41_1111) and Door swivel handle, front (from 09/00) (41_1354). It weighs about 14 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.
