Gasket left — a genuine BMW part, number 51 21 8 255 231. The number stamped on the part is 51218255231; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8255231. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts.

It fits the E46 sedan, coupe, convertible and touring (320i, 323i, 325i, 328i, 330i and M3, 1999–2006), with the M52, M54, M56 or S54 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 2 diagrams, among them Door mechanism front (up to 09/00) (41_1111) and Door mechanism rear (up to 09/00) (41_1112). It weighs about 1 g (under 0.1 lb).

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