03 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→This is a genuine BMW dowel, part number 11 21 7 516 681. The number stamped on the part is 11217516681; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7516681. You will find it on our Engine shelf, under Crankshaft with bearing. It supersedes the older number 7503470, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits every E46 body style (316i, 316ti, 318i and 318ti, 2001–2004), with the N40, N42, N45 or N46 engines.
BMW draws it on 11 diagrams, among them Flywheel / Twin Mass Flywheel (11_3187) and Flywheel automatic (11_3188).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
