Original BMW C-Clip Nut for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, Z3, Z4, and M Models (1992–2024)

The Original BMW C-clip nut, part 51-71-7-065-773, is a small fastener that slides over the edge of a panel or bracket to give a screw a threaded anchor on a wide range of BMW 1 through 7 Series, X, Z, and M models built from 1992 to 2024. Clip nuts of this type are used where a panel is too thin to tap a thread. The clip grips the edge of the hole, and the screw draws the mating part tight against it. It weighs 3 g. It is made in Germany and is sold as a single nut.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW's parts data assigns this nut to body equipment group 51 and shows production starting in September 2008. The number is shared across many chassis, including the F20 and F21 1 Series, F22 and F87 2 Series, F30, F31, F34, and F80 3 Series, F32, F36, and F82 4 Series, F07 and F10 5 Series, F06, F12, and F13 6 Series, F01 and F02 7 Series, and the E84 X1. Because the same clip turns up in many places on one car, check the part number from the diagram for the repair you are doing. Do not match by shape alone.
