Genuine BMW part 61 21 8 381 768: Original BMW battery, filled. The number stamped on the part is 61218381768; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8381768. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Battery with holder. It supersedes the older numbers 7555322, 8381772 and 8381776, so a part carrying any of them is the same part. BMW has since replaced it with 7604822.

It fits the E46 sedan, coupe, touring and compact (320i, 325i and 330i, 2001–2005), with the M54 engine — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 9 diagrams, among them Battery, empty (61_0113) and Battery, empty (61_0146). It weighs about 24 kg (53 lb).

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