Original BMW Spring Nut for BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, X5, Z3, and Z4 (1992–2010)

BMW clips trim to the body on dozens of models with Original BMW spring nut 64-11-1-364-257, a 1-gram clip nut that fits the 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, X5, Z3, and Z4 from 1992 to 2010. Its position changes from chassis to chassis, but its common job is holding various trim pieces to the body. BMW has produced the part since May 1977, and it is still current. It is made in Germany. Each nut is priced and sold individually. A spring nut is a sheet-metal clip that pushes over a panel edge or into a hole and gives a screw a threaded grip where the panel itself has none.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This number replaced the earlier 64-11-0-153-208, and BMW marks the change as exchangeable retrospectively, so the current nut is correct on cars that left the factory with the old one. BMW applies it across the E36, E46, E39, E60, E61, E63, E64, E38, E65, E66, E53, Z3, E85, and E86 chassis, on four-cylinder, six-cylinder, V8, and V10 engines alike. Because the same nut turns up in different spots depending on the car, match it to the location you are working on as well as the model.
