This is a genuine BMW frame, part number 51 12 8 218 165. The number stamped on the part is 51128218165; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8218165. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Door, rear.

It fits the E46 sedan, coupe and convertible (320i, 323i, 325i, 328i and 330i, 1999–2006), with the M52, M54 or M56 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 2 diagrams, among them Trim panel, rear I (51_3230) and Trim panel, rear (51_3680). It weighs about 108 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.
