Crosslink — a genuine BMW part, number 51 71 7 111 694. The number stamped on the part is 51717111694; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7111694. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts. It supersedes the older number 8263565, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It 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 Front Body Parts (41_1097) and Front Panel (51_4115). It weighs about 3.0 kg (6.5 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
