Original BMW Hex Head Screw with Washer ST4.8x16mm for BMW 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 Series, X1, X3, X5, X6, and Z4 (1999–2024)

This Original BMW hex head screw with washer, part number 07-14-7-129-160, is an ST4.8x16mm self-tapping fastener used across BMW's 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 Series, the X1, X3, X5, and X6, and the Z4 from 1999 through 2024. The ST prefix marks a self-tapping sheet metal thread, which cuts its own mating thread in a plastic or thin metal hole instead of threading into a nut. The screw is supplied with a washer, which spreads the clamping load over a wider area. Each screw weighs 5 grams (0.18 oz), and production of this number began in September 2003. It is made in Indonesia.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW superseded the older number 07 14 8 254 528 with this screw and marks the change as exchangeable retrospectively, so it can be used where the earlier screw was fitted. The same screw has also appeared under 51 71 8 254 528 and 07 11 9 901 292. One common application is the fuel filter cover, and it turns up throughout BMW's parts data on dozens of chassis. Those include the E46, E90, E91, E92, E93, F30, and F31 3 Series, the E82 and E88 1 Series, the F22 2 Series, the E60 and E61 5 Series, the E63 and E64 6 Series, the E65, E66, F01, and F02 7 Series, and the E84 X1.
