Original BMW Rear Differential Pinion Dust Cover for BMW M Models, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Series, X5, X6, and Z4 M (1988–2025)

On the rear differential of BMWs from the 1988 750iL to the 2025 750e xDrive, this Original BMW pinion dust cover keeps dirt, debris, and moisture away from the differential pinion. BMW calls the part a dustcover plate. It is a light piece at 37 g (1.31 oz), made in Germany and sold individually, and BMW shows the current number in production from February 2010. A pinion dust cover sits where the driveshaft meets the differential input, shielding that area from road grime thrown up under the car.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty, including small hardware like this cover.

Part number 33-13-7-600-693 replaces 33-13-2-282-678, and BMW rates the two as interchangeable in both directions, so either one can go on a car that came with the other. It also cross-references to the older numbers 33-12-2-229-048 and 33-12-1-206-274. One cover spans a wide spread of BMW final drives, from the M30 and M60 era E32 and E34 cars to the S55-powered F80 M3 and F82 M4.

Common Questions

Is this the pinion seal itself?
No. It is the dust cover that protects the pinion area from contamination, and the pinion seal is a separate part.

When should this cover be replaced?
A new dust cover is a necessary replacement whenever the pinion shaft is rebuilt or resealed.

PMB Performance can pair this cover with the rest of your BMW final drive order.
