Hi fellow PH's,

I've taken the exterior door handle off for some maintenance and lost the torx bolt that secured the handle into the internal carrier.

I think this is the part in question:

Is 51217049952 the right part? 2004 UK BMW 330CI

Here is where the bolt threads through into the carrier:



Thank you!

If you get the month and year of production (not registration) RealOem is usually right. It's worth clicking through the part number to see if it has been replaced but that's a minor issue usually. If you're not sure on RealOem the parts desk at Cotswold BMW are really helpful, and telling thme you're on Pistonheads is usually good for 10% discount.
