http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=41&fg=35

worth keeping or selling? recently removed a good condition one from my scrapper

thanks

[CHR1S1990]

edit - looked under M3 and found the part number 51481979952 and it's NLA. Are these rare? I dont think I have come across one before

[pukar]

m3 part only and hard to get hold of...not many people breaking m3s nowadays....

[CHR1S1990]

hmm. this was removed from a pre-facelift 325i. looked like it had been there from factory as underneath it was immaculate (white). optional extra? perhaps worth keeping hold of then..unless someone really desires it!

thanks

[CHR1S1990]

it seems there may be some interest in this. has anybody seen one of these for sale before? what they worth?

[cee]

Never seen one but could probably be tempted for the right price!

[billcarr182]

It's the same part as on e30 diesels. Obviously they share unrefined loudness in common with the M3 as the part is described as a 'SOUND ABSORBER'.

I was about to post this. I think they are still nla though.

I want one

[CHR1S1990]

they do finish the bay of perfectly and hide any of that crappy sound proofing foam. I think i read somewhere the clips are also NLA, however e36 share similar if not the same clips. I cant find much info on here about them so i'll fit it to mine and post a pic

[charlE30]

The ones I've seen for sale went for around the £50 mark... I was going to fit one but it wont fit with my engine not a bad thing to find in a car your breaking

[CHR1S1990]

hmm for £50 id rather keep it! indeed it was a nice thing to see, and also an 1985 bonnet underneath with no rust on it lol the rest of the car is swiss cheese

[charlE30]

You may get more for it now but just remember is's only sound proofing, not a rare alpina vent gauge...

[CHR1S1990]

true, but seeing as though it is NLA, if i sell it, down the road i may want to source one again and seeing as though ive never come across one before, id kick myself if i couldnt get hold of one, especially if i only sold it for the e.g. £50 you said.

[charlE30]

I hear what your saying, if I had the space I'd be hoarding a lot more. One day most of the parts we try and get for a few £'s will end up serious £££££'s when BM make them NLA

[CHR1S1990]

indeed! best make some space then hadn't you

[hennabm]

M3 type


325e type


my 320 with 325e type.


Both NLA and agree with prices - approx £50+ for a good one.

[CHR1S1990]

the one off my scrapper is similar to your 325e one, but still different from both. How many types are there?

[DaveD]

I bought mine some years ago for £30 and you need an awful lot of clips ...which were available from the dealer ...looks better than scraggy foam

[DanThe]

Mine came from a 324td I found in a scrapyard, cost me £10 for that and an M50 inlet

[CHR1S1990]

bargain! ive picked up a few diffs before from the scrappies actually which were LSDs for about 30quid! they dont know what theyre selling

[wheelie_lv]

got one for my e30, P/N 51 48 1 922 449
different from above

Anyone was tried to paint it with some paint for refreshing?

[Dezzy]

Is that new ^ I would really like one of them.

[wheelie_lv]

it is used but in good condition.
according to etk it is discontinued from 15.07.1988, then was
replaced by 51 48 1 979 801 (NLA from 20.01.1989) and by 51 48 8 103 380 (NLA from 28.02.2006)

Some 324dt/d also had them

M3/320iS had different shape and P/N 51 48 1 943 242 (NLA from 03.11.1988) and 51 48 1 979 952 (NLA from 23.05.2007)

[charlie_ogden]

I have one in a 320is, think it's the m3 which would make sense.

[m_jermyn]

I have one on my car... Not a big fan though

[Dezzy]

Your a bit far from me though mike. I wi have to settle for new foam once the bonnet has be sorted.

[m_jermyn]

I will be pulling mine off, they sag in the middle and rub the inlet manifold.... The 3 piece ones are better and thats what I will get eventualy

[Dezzy]

Is there no clips in the middle? I want a good one, I am not a fan of the foam tbh. Shame your at the other end of the world to me Mike I have 2 crack free dashes kicking about in my stash.

[m_jermyn]

hahahahaha yeah there is clips in the middle but it just touches the inlet still..... I think the other one looks better anyway
