Also need a part # - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Hi All,

If you look at the front of the 3.6 motor next to the distributor/leads cover there is another small plastic cover which covers 3 little connectors for the ignition sensor, TDC sensor and air pump.

I am missing this little cover. If someone could check if there's a part number on it somewhere that'd be hugely appreciated.

I checked realoem and the best i could come up with is 12511312923 PROTECTION CAP listed under "Cable holders" in the engine electrical section. I only say this because it resembles pictures i have seen of it.

thanks
Pete

Hey Pete,
You helped me...I help you. The part number on mine is 1312923. Same number as you list ...but with out the first four numbers. Attaches with one 10mm cap nut identical to the capnuts that are on the valve cover. Production date of my vehicle is March 90...of course its US spec. Hope this helps and good luck.

I'd say that's a winner. single nut to mount matches the pic on realoem too.

cheers
Pete

Pete,
Got my light cover and attached cap today at the dealership....It worked.
Thanks for the help. You got your part yet?

I haven't yet. Been lazy. haha. I rang the dealer and they said It'd have to come from germany so i'd have to go pre-pay. might do it on the weekend.

Glad yours worked out !
