What's Included

Sold as part of these kits

Socket housing — a genuine BMW part, number 12 52 1 427 221. The number stamped on the part is 12521427221; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1427221. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Other Engine Electrical System parts. It supersedes the older number 0493277, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits the E36 sedan, coupe, convertible and compact (318i and 318ti, 1992–1999), with the M42 engine.

BMW draws it on 24 diagrams, among them Cooling System-Thermostat/Water Hoses (11_0744) and Cylinder head, electr. add-on parts (11_3736). It weighs about 10 g (under 0.1 lb). It also comes in BMW kit Socket housing (0493277).

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