Reinforcement – BMW diagram

Callout 02 on BMW’s drawing “Output shaft”. Open the drawing →

Also shown on Output shaft, Output shaft, Output shaft.

Reinforcement — a genuine BMW part, number 33 20 7 522 163. You will find it under Suspension (Rear trailing arm - mount). It supersedes the older number 33 20 1 227 025, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

Fits E36 318i, 318ti and 320i (1992–1999) with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 engines. Also fits E46 316i, 316i 1.6, 316i 1.9, 316ti and 318i (1997–2004) with the M43, N40, N42, N45 or N46 engines.

BMW draws it on 11 drawings, among them two Output shaft drawings. BMW's catalog calls for six of these at each place it is fitted. It weighs about 10 g (under 0.1 lb).

Out of stock. Request it and we will notify you when it is in stock.
