Morning all.

This is a little embarrassing for me as I used to work for a BMW dealer and I used the parts system every day!

I'm trying to find the part number, or size, for one of the 4 16mm head bolts that fasten the stiffener plate under the gearbox to the chassis.

Car is an E83 3.0d auto LCI build date 02.2007

I carried out a gearbox oil and filter change the other day and there was one missing when I got the car on the lift.

Like a pillock I didn't think to measure one of the remains ones.

I can find the stiffer plate and all the associated bits on real OEM EXCEPT for the bolts.

Any ideas or have I got to get under the car again?

Thanks

This help at all?

You sir are a gentleman!

Thanks

I just wish the new parts system was on line. Last edition was Dec 2019 and there are bound to have been changes (and new models) no longer covered.. Everything needs dealer passwords sadly.
