Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle body code and match the application to the listed BMW E46 fitment before installation. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage, and compare the removed support to part number 611955 to confirm the correct replacement. For best results, replace supports in matched applications when the opposite side shows similar wear.
