Original BMW Intake Manifold Cover Spacer Grommet for M60/M62 V8 530i, 740i, 740iL, 840Ci, X5, and Land Rover Range Rover (1993–2005)

On BMW's M60 and M62 V8 engines, the Original BMW spacer 11-61-1-736-648 is the rubber grommet that houses an intake manifold cover bolt, buffering the cover where it mounts. It fits the 530i, 740i, 740iL, 840Ci, and X5 4.4i and 4.6is, plus the Land Rover Range Rover. The grommet gives the bolt a rubberized cushion that keeps the manifold cover as still as possible while the engine runs. A spacer grommet of this type isolates a bolted cover from engine vibration so the cover does not rattle against the hardware. It weighs 20 g (0.71 oz), and BMW production began in December 1991.

BMW's parts data calls this part simply a spacer. It is shared across the E34 530i and 540i with the M60, the E39 535i, 540i, and 540iP with the M62, the E32 and E38 7 Series, the E31 840Ci and 840i, the E53 X5 4.4i and 4.6is, and the E52 Z8 Alpina V8. It is made in Hungary. A cross reference to 14406006001 also appears for this grommet.
