Original BMW M6 x 18 Self-Threading ASA Screw for BMW 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Series, M2, M3, M4, X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, and Z4 (2011–2024)

Made in Germany, this Original BMW M6 x 18 self-threading ASA screw mounts the Valvetronic actuator seal and fastens many other parts on 2011–2024 BMW 1 through 7 Series, M2, M3, M4, X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, and Z4 models. A self-threading screw cuts or forms its own thread as it is driven, so the hole it goes into needs no separate nut. Each screw weighs 4 g (0.14 oz), and BMW shows production of this number from March 2011. BMW uses the same screw across the N20, N26, N55, B46, B48, B58, S55, and S58 engine families, which explains its long reach.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Because one screw serves so many parts and engines, check the size, M6 thread and 18 mm length, against the fastener you are replacing rather than relying on the location alone. On the cars covered here, BMW shows it on chassis from the E82 and E88 1 Series, E90 to E93 facelift 3 Series, and E70 facelift X5 through the F-series platforms: F22, F23, F87, F30, F31, F34, F80, F32, F33, F36, F82, F83, F07, F10, F06, F12, F13, F01, F02, E84, F25, and F26. The screw is sold individually.
