HTH

This is the part im looking. can someone even tell me what it actually is. Trying to get it ordered from bmw

i wouldve called it a heater resistor and chose 64111370927 in my opinion. however the image looks nothing like it. ..

It may be the dim/dip resister for the headlights

It's nothing to do with the headlamps.
Does this car have aircon?

yeah its got air con

Factory fitted or dealer fitted? (Does it have a slatted grill at the front of the front centre console, where most E30's have a storage area?)

yeah its got the slatted grill

It is the resistor that gives the different fan speeds for the heater/aircon motor, and since this is dealer fitted aircon (fitted after the car was built), entering the VIN into the ETK may not bring up the correct part number.
There was a thread a couple of weeks ago, where a member posted up a picture of this resistor that is apparently mounted on the front battery tray. Presumably, as part of the aircon fitting process into the heater box, the resistor (which normally lives just below the fan motor in pre facelift heaters), has to be evicted to make room for something else.
This resistor MAY be the same as the one that is fitted internally to pre facelift heater boxes, (it looks similar) or it may be a different part.
