Original BMW Engine Cover Ball Pin for BMW 1–8 Series, X Models, Z4, and M Models (1992–2025)

The Original BMW engine cover ball pin, part number 11-12-7-593-207, is the ball pin that gives the plastic engine cover a fixed point to press onto on a long run of BMW 1 Series through 8 Series, X models, Z4, and M cars. BMW calls it a ball pin because the exposed end is rounded. The cover's rubber grommet snaps over that ball, holds the cover in place against engine vibration, and lets it pull straight off when the engine needs service. This stud weighs 5 g and is made in Germany. BMW's parts data shows production of this number beginning in January 2009, and its applications center on the N20, N26, N55, B38, B46, B48, and B58 engines, plus the S55 in the F80 M3, F82 M4, and F87 M2.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The same stud carries across several BMW generations, so one number covers chassis from the E82 and E88 1 Series, the facelifted E90, E91, E92, and E93 3 Series, and the E70 X5 and E71 X6 through the F-series and G-series cars. BMW's data shows it on the F30, F32, F10, F25, and F15, and on the G20, G30, G11, G05, and G14. Because the application range is so wide, confirm the part number 11-12-7-593-207 before ordering. Each pin is sold on its own, so order one for every pin your cover needs.
