Hi folks

I have a lovely low mile E61 and I'm looking for a very small and particular trim part to make the car perfect!

Where the glass tailgate closes there are rubber covers over some bump stops at the base of each trim panel. I am missing one. I don't think it matters at all but I would quite like to replace it!

I tracked down the parts diagram but frustratingly there's no identification of the rubber grommet thing circled here in red.

Anyone know what is is? I can't search for it otherwise because I don't know what I'd call it, either. Short of pulling one off a colleagues car, any help?

Cheers

BTW it's not part number 3, it's round

If you have local breaker you could pop down there if they have any E61s. (I know there are a few ifs there!).

Presuming you got the parts diagram from RealOEM, look a little further down the page at the Sealing/Plug section to see of theres something similar.

If you have access to a 3D printer you could clone it in TPU

Thanks, yes there's a breakers nearby I'll try.
The plug diagram unfortunately is a little unclear

It doesn't quite match any of those I don't think - I'll have another look later today
