Push-button — a genuine BMW part, number 51 71 8 153 561. The number stamped on the part is 51718153561; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8153561. You will find it on our Interior Body shelf, under Other Body equipment parts.
It fits the E36 sedan, coupe and convertible (318i, 320i, 323i, 325i, 328i and M3, 1992–1999), with the M42, M43, M44, M50, M52 or S50 and other engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Bonnet seals (41_2288) and exterior trim / grille (51_2059). BMW's catalog calls for six of these at each place it is fitted.
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
