Threaded bolt — a genuine BMW part, number 51 41 6 976 220. The number stamped on the part is 51416976220; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 6976220. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts. It supersedes the older number 8215278, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits the E46 sedan and touring (320i, 323i, 325i, 328i and 330i, 1999–2005), with the M52, M54 or M56 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 4 diagrams, among them Interior trim finishers (51_3310) and Fine wood trim (51_4889). BMW's catalog calls for 16 of these at each place it is fitted.
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
