Genuine BMW part 24 13 7 557 072: Repair kit, output cover seal. The number stamped on the part is 24137557072; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7557072. You will find it on our Transmission shelf, under Gearbox emergency release. It supersedes the older number 7528825, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits every E46 body style (320i, 323i, 325i, 328i and 330i, 1999–2006), with the M52 or M54 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 4 diagrams, among them A5S360R/390R Output (24_0933) and A4S200R output (24_0977). It weighs about 106 g (0.2 lb).
