Hard to find part: Engine Nut Cover

[Shipkiller]

I lost one of my Engine Nut Covers. When you take them off, they have a tendency to go flying....
One or two others on this forum have been trying to find them also.

Searching my parts DVD I found them. Here is the RealOEM link. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BT33&mospid=47798&btnr=11_2172&hg=11&fg=15
Part number 15. CAP

Engine Nut Cover
11 12 1 726 089

My dealer had it in stock. Cost of $2.50

Can't imagine getting into taking these off myself.... but good info.

If you do your own maintenance, then you might have need for this. Just more info...

Well I did discover I have the same strut mount problem you had Shipkiller.....though after careful inspection it seems the part that seems cracked is a rubber grommet type item....not metal........so theorhetically not as crucial?

Mine were not cracked completely through. But I do feel better that it is fixed. Plus, it gave me an excuse to get a strut bar.

It does make a noticeable difference on a convertible....
