05 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→This is a genuine BMW cross brace, part number 51 71 7 228 081. The number stamped on the part is 51717228081; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7228081. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts. It supersedes the older number 7158437, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
BMW's catalog records no E36 or E46 it is fitted to; it belongs to other BMW models.
BMW draws it on 2 diagrams, among them Reinforcement, body (51_6429) and Reinforcement, body, front end (51_9498). It weighs about 690 g (1.5 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
