It fits the E46 coupe and convertible (323i, 325i, 328i, 330i and M3, 2000–2006), with the M52, M54, M56 or S54 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Front Body Parts (41_1097) and Engine Hood/Mounting Parts (41_1099). It weighs about 16 g (under 0.1 lb).
