This is a genuine BMW drive Shaft, part number 51 36 8 151 508. The number stamped on the part is 51368151508; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8151508. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts.
It fits the E36 coupe (318i, 323i, 325i, 328i and M3, 1992–1999), with the M42, M44, M50, M52, S50 or S52 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on the Door Window Lifting Mechanism Rear (51_2060) diagram. BMW's catalog calls for two of these at each place it is fitted. It weighs about 155 g (0.3 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
