{"product_id":"bmw-headlight-cover-strip-2","title":"Original BMW Left Headlight-to-Hood Seal Strip for E46 BMW 325i, 325xi, 330i, and 330xi (2001–2005)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFitted along the top edge of the left headlight, this Original BMW cover strip seals the gap between the headlight and the hood on 2001–2005 E46 BMW 325i, 325xi, 330i, and 330xi models. BMW names it the left cover strip, and it does the job of an upper headlight gasket. Tabs along the strip hold it in place. With age the material can turn brittle and those tabs can break, which lets the strip loosen from its position. The strip weighs 74 g and is made in Poland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction of this number began in September 2001, and it replaced the earlier 63 12 8 384 487. BMW marks that supersession as not exchangeable retrospectively, so the newer strip is not approved for every car built with the older number. This part is the left-side strip only. BMW's parts data places it on the E46 3 Series, with the 325i and 325xi on the M54 engine and the 330i and 330xi on the M54 among the applications, alongside other E46 variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (Original BMW part)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 63-12-6-921-859\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: cover strip, left (upper headlight gasket)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: top of the left headlight, against the hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 74 g (0.2 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: September 2001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupersedes 63 12 8 384 487, not exchangeable retrospectively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: Poland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually as one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the old strip keep coming loose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe strip is held by tabs, and as the material ages it can get brittle and the tabs can break.
