Expansion tank — a genuine BMW part, number 16 13 2 283 280. The number stamped on the part is 16132283280; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 2283280. You will find it on our Fuel System shelf, under Ventilation, emission monitoring. It supersedes the older number 2229680, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits the E46 sedan, coupe, convertible and touring (320i, 325i, 330i and M3, 2001–2006), with the M54 or S54 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on the Exp.Tank/Activated Carbon Container (16_0485) diagram. It weighs about 853 g (1.9 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
