What's Included

Sold as part of these kits

This is a genuine BMW socket housing, part number 12 52 1 427 787. The number stamped on the part is 12521427787; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1427787. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Other Engine Electrical System parts. It supersedes the older number 0493279, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits the E36 compact (316i 1.9, 1999), with the M43 engine. It also fits every E46 body style (320i, 325i and 330i, 2001–2006), with the M54 or M56 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 19 diagrams, among them Cylinder head attached parts (11_2054) and Waterpump - Thermostat (11_4187). It weighs about 10 g (under 0.1 lb). It also comes in BMW kit Socket housing (0493279).

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