What's Included

This is a genuine BMW service key, part number 51 21 8 236 594. The number stamped on the part is 51218236594; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8236594. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts. It supersedes the older number 8213931, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits the E46 sedan, coupe, convertible and touring (320i, 323i, 325i, 328i and 330i, 1999–2006), with the M52, M54 or M56 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 4 diagrams, among them Key with battery (up to 09/99) (41_1108) and Key with accumulator battery(from 09/99) (41_1330). It weighs about 10 g (under 0.1 lb). It also comes in BMW kits Set of Keys with EWS Control Unit (0008578) and Set of Keys with EWS Control Unit (0008579) and 7 more.

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