01 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→Genuine BMW part 54 31 8 215 971: Manual folding top. The number stamped on the part is 54318215971; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8215971. You will find it on our Exterior Body shelf, under Other Sliding Roof / Folding Top parts. It supersedes the older numbers 8169853, 8215972, 8215973, 8215974 and 3 others, so a part carrying any of them is the same part.
It fits the E36 convertible (318i, 323i, 325i, 328i and M3, 1994–1999), with the M42, M43, M44, M50, M52 or S50 and other engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on the Manual/Electromech.Semiautom.Folding Top (54_0180) diagram. It weighs about 39 kg (86 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
