BMW names the part simply Fit bolt. Each one weighs 5 grams, and BMW's parts data shows production starting in December 1997. These are genuine BMW parts made in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fit bolt has a precisely sized shank that locates a part as well as clamping it, which is why BMW uses this type at the VANOS unit instead of an ordinary bolt. The VANOS unit bolts to the front of the head, and these two fit bolts set where it sits. BMW's application data covers the E46 3 Series, the E39 5 Series, the E83 X3, the E53 X5 3.0i, the E85 Z4, and the Z3, with M52, M54, or M56 engines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW, genuine part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-36-1-748-745\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: Fit bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: VANOS adjuster unit to cylinder head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity used: 2 per car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 g (0.18 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: December 1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo per car, since both locate the VANOS unit on the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the X5 4.4i use this bolt?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is shown for the X5 3.0i with the M54 engine only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the table below for the exact year, model, submodel, and any listed notes.
