12 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→This is a genuine BMW fan belt, part number 12 31 1 268 697. The number stamped on the part is 12311268697; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1268697. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Alternator with motor and mounting. It supersedes the older numbers 1260568 and 1469232, so a part carrying any of them 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 8 diagrams, among them Belt Drive-Vibration Damper (11_0277) and Alternatormounting Parts (12_0129). It weighs about 76 g (0.2 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
