Original BMW Quick-Release Screw for Underbody Panels, BMW 3 Series, M3, X5, X6, and Mini Cooper (1999–2014)

A quick-release screw from Original BMW, part 07-14-7-177-492, holds belly pans and other exterior underbody pieces in place on the E46 3 Series and M3, E70 X5, E71 X6, and Mini Cooper from 1999–2014. BMW names it a quick-release screw, and it is also known as a speed screw. Each weighs 4 g and is sold individually. It is made in the United Kingdom. BMW has produced this number since September 2006, when it replaced 07-14-8-212-148.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW rates the move from 07-14-8-212-148 to this number as exchangeable retrospectively, so it serves E46 cars built before 2006 as well as later X5 and X6 models. The same screw also covers 07-13-0-849-436, 51-71-0-149-417, 51-71-0-153-098, and 51-71-8-212-148. These screws go missing often, so keeping a few spares in the toolbox is sensible. A quick-release fastener locks with a partial turn rather than threading in fully, which lets a panel come off and go back on quickly.
