42 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→Centering pin — a genuine BMW part, number 54 21 8 204 405. The number stamped on the part is 54218204405; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8204405. You will find it on our Exterior Body shelf, under Other Sliding Roof / Folding Top parts. It supersedes the older number 7004655, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits the E36 convertible (318i, 323i, 325i, 328i and M3, 1994–1999), with the M42, M43, M44, M50, M52 or S50 and other engines — and the European-market versions. It also fits the E46 convertible (323i, 325i, 330i and M3, 2000–2006), with the M52, M54 or S54 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 2 diagrams, among them Hardtop Parts (54_0184) and Hardtop Parts (54_0258). BMW's catalog calls for two of these at each place it is fitted. 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.
