This is a genuine BMW plug engine beam, part number 51 71 1 881 468. The number stamped on the part is 51711881468; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1881468. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts.

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 11 diagrams, among them Sealing cap/plug (51_1680) and Sealing cap/plug (51_1681). BMW's catalog calls for two of these at each place it is fitted. It weighs about 3 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.
