I had to replace the same thing on my E39. From memory it was part 3 on this diagram, called a Centre engine compartment closing panel: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=51&fg=80 Should be able to find the equivalent for your car, try here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.do?mode...hg=51&fg=70 Edited July 9, 2012 by jeffbebe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
