This is a genuine BMW protection cap, part number 54 31 7 043 557. The number stamped on the part is 54317043557; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7043557. You will find it on our Exterior Body shelf, under Other Sliding Roof / Folding Top parts.

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

BMW draws it on the Folding top (54_0274) diagram. BMW's catalog calls for two of these at each place it is fitted. It weighs about 1 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.
