Five-piece adapter set for 165 mm midrange speakers and 44 mm tweeters in Euro-spec E46 Coupe and Convertible doors without factory Hi-Fi or Harman Kardon. The creator documents the original mounts, printed adapters, driver assembly and installed sound-deadened doors. Verify speaker, wiring, window and door-trim clearance before fastening.

Replacement beauty cap for M50, M52 and M54 engine-cover fasteners, physically shown on the engine. BMWFans identifies the exact component as cap 11121726089 and confirms E34, E36, E38, E39, E46, E53, E60/E61, E65/E66, E83, E85 and Z3 applications. Use engine-bay-rated material and keep it clear of hot or moving parts.

Two-piece M54 engine air-intake duct physically fitted to the E46. BMWFans, RealOEM and Hubauer cross-confirm genuine BMW intake tube 13717509118 for the matching M54 and M56 applications. Use a heat-resistant engine-bay material and verify air-box sealing, bonnet clearance and freedom from belts and fans.

Replacement clip for BMW door-sill/entry trim panels. The creator explicitly lists E21, E30, E36, E39, E46, E81/E82/E88, F20, E85 and related applications and identifies genuine BMW clip 51471840960. Verify the receiving-hole and trim thickness before fitting.

Print with a filament that can survive the temperatures in the car. I have added the step so you could add buttons or anything else if you want. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

This is a remixed version of the original thing posted here on Thingiverse, which is a shift boot bracket for the BMW E46 3 Series. It has better strength as with the added fillets and the clips are thickened as well as enlarged for better fitment. It will fit both RHD and LHD BMW E46 and will provide tight fitment. If you are planning to install with thick Alcantara leather boot, then it will be wise to scale it down a bit to 96-97% scale but if you are just planning to use faux leather boot, then at 100% scale it will be just fine. Use custom support blockers to increase the infill density of the clips to 99% for added strength. Print it in ABS or PETG because PLA will definitely deform du Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Fourth-iteration replacement for the small slider-rail clip used in creator-listed E36, E39, E46 and E53 sunroofs. The source shows the physical print and a working demonstration. Use heat-resistant material and verify full sunroof travel, anti-pinch operation and water sealing before driving.

Replacement oil-sump drain-plug access cover for E46 and Z4 E85/E86 undertrays. The creator corrected the screw-hole location and removed reinforcement that caused the physical print to warp. Use an underbody-rated material and verify screw retention, exhaust clearance and complete undertray seating.

I recently got a new (used) BMW E46 and noticed the panels that run along the top of the door had been damaged by the previous owner. Took out one of the not damaged clips and remade it in Fusion 360, then printed a handful to replace on all the doors. Worked a charm! Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Made this few years back. Still intact till today. Drop a comment for feedbacks Printed in ASA 100% fill. ABS or others Enable "Detect Thin Wall" Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Mounting clip replacement for the BMW E46 kidney grill. The kidney grills are held in place in the bonnet through flexible lips, which become brittle with time and heat exposure. My car is 14 years old and the kidney grills had lost their grips a while ago and were about to fall over. The quick fix was to string them up from the inside, but hardly an elegant fix for a BMW! Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Replacement tow-eye opening cover for the E46 M-Sport front bumper, refined through several physical prototypes and shown installed. The creator notes that standard SE geometry does not fit this bumper. Use exterior-rated material and verify secure retention without obstructing the tow-eye opening.

Inserts into the stock E46 ashtray, should be friction fit. I included all of my files, with the following features: .stl with the holder cutouts intended for my own use, Hörmann Garage Door Opener, a ISO/IEC 7810 ID1 cutout and a generic one to use the remaining space .step without cutouts for your own modifications .f3d so you can look at my bad modelling skills and also make your own modifications I would recommend to print this in ABS, PETG may be fine but PLA will 100% shrink if your car heats up. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Four clip-in replacement gear-knob shapes for the BMW E34 and the creator-listed classic BMW chassis. The design was developed around the common BMW latching stem and includes an installed physical example. Confirm the lever's clip profile and preserve full shift travel before driving; the grouped API fitments reproduce only chassis families explicitly listed by the creator.

This is a custom USB holder designed to replace the button blanking strip on a BMW E46 dashboard – the one next to the ASC/DSC button. It’s a remix of another model, but with serious upgrades: ✅ Now with 3 Holes : I added a third port so you can mount a standard car charger PCB . Just remove the plastic casing and drop in the board. Works perfectly with generic AliExpress/Amazon 12V USB chargers. 🔩 Rear Clamp with M3 Bolts : The back has a clamp system for a solid hold using M3 bolts and heat-set inserts (not required, but highly recommended). 📐 Includes STEP File : I reverse-engineered the original STL in Fusion 360 and included a clean STEP file for anyone who wants to customize it further Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

These are speaker adapter mounts for BMW E46 front doors. There is a mount for both the tweeter and woofer. The mounts are designed for a JL Audio C3-525 component set but I have included generic .stp files for the mounts to adapt the design for your speakers. The woofers are screwed into the printed adapter rings and then the factory mounting screws are used to fix them to the door card. The tweeters clip into the mount with a twist and are held with integrated springs. The tweeter mounts also re-use the factory screws to hold them to the door cards. Left and right are exactly the same and there is no need to mirror the mounts. These fit perfectly and I have had no issues after a month of i Fuse and insulate any added wiring correctly, secure it from chafe and confirm the circuit remains serviceable.

Clip-on cargo hook for the rear load-area rail, physically shown installed and documented by the creator as used reliably for more than a year. The creator directly lists X3 E83, 3 Series E46, X5 E53 and 5 Series E39 compatibility, so all four live generations are linked. This is an accessory rather than a reproduction of a BMW service part. Print in PETG as documented, observe sensible load limits, and confirm it cannot obstruct the rear seat or cargo cover.

Update: Few of those broke using PLA 0.8 width, infill 10-25%. I suggest you print with 3 layers width (or more?). I will do a redesign to fix the weak point from printing prescriptive. This is my design for BMW floor mat holder (E36 E46 E38 E39) . Top part fits nice and works like a charm. I would say it even holds better than original one. As for the washer (bottom one) I haven't got it in real life so I've designed whatever I thought was suitable. Tested with PLA. Lay it down to print upside down. For now tests are held only in V1 version. Version 1: - Design created. Printed with CURA supports Version 2: - Added supports included in file. Gap is 0.15mm - Redesign of top part "head" - Added washer BMW part number (exemplary) 51478116564 51478183027 51478183028 51478183029 51471881521 Only the creator-tested V1 fastener is retained; the untested V2 washer and supported variant are excluded.

Print in a heat-resistant engine-bay material and verify sealing and clearance.

E46 4" Speaker Adapter for Coupe/M3 This adapter screws directly into the original speaker pod. The threads are slightly loose, allowing space for Teflon tape. I applied Teflon tape to ensure a secure fit and prevent the speaker from vibrating loose over time. The speaker is fastened with M4 screws, with a little dab of loctite on them. Dry-fit before fastening and verify glass, latch, wiring and trim clearance through full operation.

Do NOT print it in PLA, it will deform/melt. Printed with supports. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Cut off the remains of the rubber part on your windshield cowl and attach these printed ones. OEM PART: 51718208483 Mirror the end part to use it on the other side. Print multiple mid parts to cover the entire length. Printed from Fillamentum Flexfill 89A. Using 0.15mm layer height is important as there is a steep overhang on the part, which wouldn't print well using thicker layers. The end part might not fit perfectly but it did the job already so I didn't tweak it anymore. Use heat-, UV- and fluid-resistant material and verify full wiper or washer clearance.

Print standing vertically, Coat with a clear Just glue on your trim and push it on Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.
