Original BMW HVAC Vibration Damper for BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, M5, 7 Series, and 8 Series (1988–1999)

BMW vibration damper 64-11-1-390-940 is an Original BMW part from the heating and ventilation system, used across the E34 5 Series and M5, E32 7 Series, E31 8 Series, and the E36 318ti from 1988 to 1999. On these cars it belongs to the HVAC group of parts rather than the engine or suspension. It is made in Germany and sold as a single piece.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW began production of this damper in January 1989 and shows it replacing the earlier number 64-11-1-368-641. BMW rates that change as exchangeable retrospectively, so this damper can be used on cars that were built with the older number. One damper serves a wide range of engines in BMW's data, from the four-cylinder M40, M43, and M44 through the M20, M50, and M30 sixes, the M60 and M62 V8s, the M70 and M73 V12s, and the S38 in the M5. That broad coverage makes it a common part across the late-1980s and 1990s BMW lineup.
