This is a genuine BMW spacer plate, part number 12 31 1 278 162. The number stamped on the part is 12311278162; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1278162. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Alternator with motor and mounting.

BMW's catalog records no E36 or E46 it is fitted to; it belongs to other BMW models.

BMW draws it on 14 diagrams, among them Alternatormounting Parts (12_0166) and Alternatormounting Parts (12_1275). It weighs about 7 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.
