This is a genuine BMW left protection cover, part number 52 10 8 172 847. The number stamped on the part is 52108172847; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8172847. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Tail trim. It supersedes the older number 8144078, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits every E36 body style (318i, 318ti, 320i, 323i and 325i, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 9 diagrams, among them Front Seat Backrest Frame (52_0498) and Front Seat Backrest Frame (52_0499). It weighs about 68 g (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.
