Genuine BMW part 52 10 8 122 161: Bowden cable. The number stamped on the part is 52108122161; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8122161. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Tail trim.

It fits the E36 coupe and convertible (318i, 323i, 325i, 328i and M3, 1992–1999), with the M42, M43, M44, M50, M52 or S50 and other engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 4 diagrams, among them Front Seat Unlocking (52_0561) and Front Seat Unlocking (52_0562). BMW's catalog calls for two of these at each place it is fitted. It weighs about 55 g (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.
