I have been searching the web for hours trying to locate a picture and name of a part on my car. I came across this site a few minutes ago that contains diagrams/prices on BMW parts for all models. I hope this is not a repost and someone else benefits from it like I did. It's not a repair manual but at least you can view any part.

You do not have to enter your VIN to use the site. I just selected my car and hit "Browse parts" once I was done. If you click on the diagram it will give you a larger picture with prices listed below it.

Nice find, thanks for sharing! I'm gonna try that site out right now.

members tend to recc that site often....another similar site is:

glad you found what you were looking for...

Been using the site for years! Good site indeed.

2011 BMW 328Xi Missing Part
 

I have looked everywhere and through all diagrams and can not find this. It looks like something is missing and I have seen a circular cover on other cars but I can’t order a new one until I know what it is. Can anyone help please??! Thanks

Need to post you year, model and production date to get a response on assistance (too many variables for the 3 series). From what I can tell you need a new cowl. That piece is not sold separately

I posted the year and model in the “TITLE” section.
2011 BMW 328Xi / 328i XDRIVE
Awesome Thank You I don’t know why I didn’t think of the cow- I had to buy one for my mustang 🤦🏼‍♀️ I couldn’t think of the name . Greatly appreciated . ☺️😁 Thank you so much for the help

No problem. 51717161033 should be the part number
