19 View BMW DiagramSee this part on the official exploded view→Lower part of hood lock — a genuine BMW part, number 51 23 8 203 862. The number stamped on the part is 51238203862; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8203862. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts. It supersedes the older number 8203861, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits every E46 body style (320i, 323i, 325i, 328i, 330i and M3, 1999–2006), with the M52, M54 or S54 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Engine Hood/Mounting Parts (41_0057) and Engine Hood/Mounting Parts (41_1099). BMW's catalog calls for two of these at each place it is fitted. It weighs about 190 g (0.4 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
