02 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→Reinforcement — a genuine BMW part, number 33 20 7 522 163. The number stamped on the part is 33207522163; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7522163. You will find it on our Suspension shelf, under Rear trailing arm - mount. It supersedes the older number 1227025, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits every E36 body style (318i, 318ti and 320i, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions. It also fits every E46 body style (316i, 316i 1.6, 316i 1.9, 316ti and 318i, 1997–2004), with the M43, N40, N42, N45 or N46 engines.
BMW draws it on 11 diagrams, among them Output shaft (33_0468) and Output shaft (33_1105). BMW's catalog calls for six of these at each place it is fitted. It weighs about 10 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.
