On E46 coupes, convertibles, and the M3, the gap between the right headlight and the hood is closed by this Original BMW cover strip, which snaps on top of the headlight to form a watertight seal. BMW calls it the cover strip, right, and supplies it as a single piece. It weighs 68 g, and BMW shows production from January 1999. This strip is made in the Czech Republic. The strip creates a watertight seal between the headlight and the hood.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This strip belongs to the two-door E46 family, the Ci coupe and convertible and the M3. BMW lists it only for the Ci coupe and convertible and the M3. BMW's parts data places it across the M52, M54, and M56 sixes and the S54 in the M3 and M3 CSL. The strip fits the right headlight only. For the 325Ci in the 2003 model year, the coverage runs to cars built up to March 2003, so check the build date on late cars.
