Sunroof Slider-Rail Repair ClipC3D–01158
BMWCabin trim, cargo & roof

Sunroof Slider-Rail Repair Clip

Fourth-iteration replacement for the small slider-rail clip used in creator-listed E36, E39, E46 and E53 sunroofs. The source shows the physical print and a working demonstration. Use heat-resistant material and verify full sunroof travel, anti-pinch operation and water sealing before driving.

Trunk Cargo HookC3D–01496
BMWCabin trim, cargo & roof

Trunk Cargo Hook

Clip-on cargo hook for the rear load-area rail, physically shown installed and documented by the creator as used reliably for more than a year. The creator directly lists X3 E83, 3 Series E46, X5 E53 and 5 Series E39 compatibility, so all four live generations are linked. This is an accessory rather than a reproduction of a BMW service part. Print in PETG as documented, observe sensible load limits, and confirm it cannot obstruct the rear seat or cargo cover.

Fuel-Tank Screw-Cap WrenchC3D–01424
BMWService tools

Fuel-Tank Screw-Cap Wrench

Service wrench for the notched BMW fuel-tank screw cap used on E46, E60/E61, E63/E64, E65–E68, E83 and E53 vehicles. The creator tested the same interface on an R53 MINI and identified BMW screw cap 16116762417; BMW catalog cross-reference independently confirms that cap across the listed BMW chassis. The printed wrench is not the screw cap itself, so no OEM number is assigned. Use a stiff engineering polymer, hand tools only, and replace rather than reuse any visibly damaged print.

Trunk-Floor Twist LockC3D–01393
BMWCabin trim, cargo & roof

Trunk-Floor Twist Lock

Replacement for BMW OEM part 51478230749 (Support for Tension Strap). Used to secure the trunk floor panel in BMW E39 E36 models. Printing recommendation: For maximum strength, print the part at a 45° angle using supports. This print orientation improves layer adhesion in the areas subjected to the highest load, resulting in a stronger and more durable part. BMW catalog lists support 51478230749 from 1996-09 and records bilateral interchangeability with superseded 51478197822; retain the creator-listed E36/E39 fitment. Verify dimensions against the original part and confirm full operation before regular use.

Floor-Mat Retaining FastenerC3D–01353
BMWCabin trim, cargo & roof

Floor-Mat Retaining Fastener

Update: Few of those broke using PLA 0.8 width, infill 10-25%. I suggest you print with 3 layers width (or more?). I will do a redesign to fix the weak point from printing prescriptive. This is my design for BMW floor mat holder (E36 E46 E38 E39) . Top part fits nice and works like a charm. I would say it even holds better than original one. As for the washer (bottom one) I haven't got it in real life so I've designed whatever I thought was suitable. Tested with PLA. Lay it down to print upside down. For now tests are held only in V1 version. Version 1: - Design created. Printed with CURA supports Version 2: - Added supports included in file. Gap is 0.15mm - Redesign of top part "head" - Added washer BMW part number (exemplary) 51478116564 51478183027 51478183028 51478183029 51471881521 Only the creator-tested V1 fastener is retained; the untested V2 washer and supported variant are excluded. Verify dimensions against the original part and confirm full operation before regular use.

BMWEngine-bay electrical & sensors

Battery Retaining Spacer

Battery-retaining spacer reproduced from BMW component 61211350825 for E30, E34, E39 and E46. BMWFans identifies it as spacer 1350825 and confirms those chassis among broader BMW usage. Match battery size, tray slot and hold-down engagement, and do not use it to compensate for an incorrect battery or damaged clamp.

Black Dash BlankC3D–01347
BMWDashboard & controls

Black Dash Blank

Replacement black blanking cover for an unused dashboard switch opening on BMW E32, E34, E36 and Z3. The source gives interchange number 51161963979, which BMWFans confirms as black cover 1963979 produced from April 1987; the alternate 51161963987 could not be catalog-confirmed and is intentionally omitted. Check color, opening and switch-bank configuration.

Rear Window-Regulator BushingC3D–01339
BMWInterior doors & windows

Rear Window-Regulator Bushing

Two-piece repair bushing for the riveted rear window-regulator slider used on BMW E32, E34 and E36. The creator built it for a personal repair so the original rivet can remain in place, and retained the two halves with friction plus an O-ring. Inspect the regulator, lubricate the guide correctly and confirm smooth glass travel before refitting trim.

Clip-In Gear Knob SetC3D–01335
BMWConsole & storage

Clip-In Gear Knob Set

Four clip-in replacement gear-knob shapes for the BMW E34 and the creator-listed classic BMW chassis. The design was developed around the common BMW latching stem and includes an installed physical example. Confirm the lever's clip profile and preserve full shift travel before driving; the grouped API fitments reproduce only chassis families explicitly listed by the creator.

518i M10 Throttle-Linkage Nipple

Replacement throttle-body linkage/cable nipple for the M10-powered BMW E28 518i; two identical pieces are required in the catalog assembly. The design is based on an original part and includes print-orientation guidance.
