07 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→This is a genuine BMW O-ring, part number 31 51 1 213 527. The number stamped on the part is 31511213527; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1213527. You will find it on our Suspension shelf, under Other Front Axle parts. It supersedes the older number 1212387, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits the E46 sedan and touring (325xi and 330xi, 2001–2005), with the M54 engine — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 22 diagrams, among them Front axle diff.sep.comp.all-wh.drive v (31_0241) and Front axle diff.sep.comp.all-wh.drive v (31_0514). BMW's catalog calls for two of these at each place it is fitted.
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
