This is a genuine BMW synthetic strip, part number 54 12 2 253 561. The number stamped on the part is 54122253561; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 2253561. You will find it on our Exterior Body shelf, under Other Sliding Roof / Folding Top parts.

It fits the E36 sedan, coupe, touring and compact (318i, 318ti, 320i, 323i, 325i and 328i, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Headlining / Handle (51_2040) and Headlining / Handle (51_2178). It weighs about 395 g (0.9 lb).

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