This is a genuine BMW variable saddle holder, part number 82 79 0 000 507. The number stamped on the part is 82790000507; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 0000507. You will find it on our Merchandise & Accessories shelf, under Other Universal Accessories parts. It supersedes the older number 9404361, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits every E36 body style (318i, 318ti, 320i, 323i and 325i, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 5 diagrams, among them Bicycle lift (03_3200) and Bicycle lift (03_3201). It weighs about 168 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.
