Describe it. Match it. Get the OEM number.

Start with your BMW. Check the exact profile.

The vehicle directory includes BMW passenger cars and SUVs listed in NHTSA US data for model years 2000–2026. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle; it does not supply a complete OEM parts database. Each listed year/model has 20 entries. Where a source is available, entries include an OEM number and an explicitly named catalog reference. Unresolved entries are marked “OEM lookup required.” The original 2011 BMW 328i N51, USA sedan, November 2011 reference remains available.

Sourced entries link to RealOEM and year-specific OEM dealer diagrams and retain vehicle and option restrictions. Starter entries link to the RealOEM vehicle selector and do not claim an OEM number or confirmed compatibility.

What to check before ordering.

• Confirm the engine, production date, and vehicle options.
• Use the original catalog diagram to check the exact part.
• Check retailer fitment, current price, stock, shipping, and returns.

Price comparisons use dated listing snapshots. PartsBuff links to retailers; purchases and payments happen on their sites.

Search results are candidates, not a diagnosis or guarantee of compatibility. The default search uses catalog keywords and aliases; the existing optional AI matching integration remains available when configured.
