Can anybody help me out with a part number for the plastic radiator cover located underneath the radiator it is accessible from underneath the car? Mine was cracked when I changed my bumper cover so I removed it and did not get the part number. I thought I could find it on realoem.com but was unsuccessful.

If you were lying on your back under the front of the car and tried to grab either brake duct the inside of your arm would rub against it. | | | 05-24-2006, 01:17 AM | #4 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | do you have a pic of your broken one? __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 05-24-2006, 01:28 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Ft Lauderdale, Fl moving to Eastern PA in May of 2007 Posts: 326 | Quote: Originally Posted by cali-ti do you have a pic of your broken one? | No - I threw it away like a big dummy. I even remember seeing the part number printed on the part. I have found everything I have ever needed on realoem.com so I didn't think it would be a problem if I threw it away. | | | 05-24-2006, 06:15 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | I have a spare splash guard, if that's what you're talking about. It's the piece that fits directly behind the front bumper, and next to the front wheel spats, but connects to rubber/plastic parts that fit higher up. Pay for shipping and it's yours. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 05-24-2006, 07:46 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: San Francisco Posts: 308 | perhaps you mean this? 51 71 8 156 259 __________________ '99 ti /Mtechnic, Schwartz II, Meyle Control Arms w/Full Metal Ball Joints, PowerFlex poly LCAB's, Pirelli P Zero/Nero 225/50/16, "the d-baffle"...... | | | 05-24-2006, 12:06 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Ft Lauderdale, Fl moving to Eastern PA in May of 2007 Posts: 326 | That is what I am looking for!

I checked it out on realoem.com, but can I even buy stuff off that site? I couldn't figure out how to add stuff to my cart. Is there another site to purchase it from? thanks, Maher __________________ 97 sport | | | 05-25-2006, 05:52 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: St. Louis Posts: 138 | crap, so I found it on Bavauto.com, and was about to buy it, but it says its not for the M bumper.
