Genuine BMW part 11 78 1 710 590: Protection plate. The number stamped on the part is 11781710590; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1710590. You will find it on our Engine shelf, under Exhaust gas control systems. It supersedes the older number 1278560, so a part carrying that number 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 34 diagrams, among them Exhaust system with catalytic converter (18_0012) and Exhaust pipe, catalytic converter (18_0064). It weighs about 32 g (under 0.1 lb). It also comes in BMW kit Installing Set Catalyzer (1716468).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
