Kidney Grill Clip Replacement
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.

Oil Filter removal tool
I used it for my BMW E46 and it is very sturdy. You can use a 32mm Hex Nut or a 1/2" square wrench to open the oil filter cap. The Tool on the picture was an earlier smaller version but it broke. Use the specified automotive-grade material, keep the tool square and inspect the serviced component before reassembly.

Trunk bottom support pad (convertible/coupe)
I lost my cap some time ago and I found one here, but not for my model and not in design I wanted. Therefore I did model for my car. It is tested in e46 convertible, but probably will fit coupe and maybe also other models. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Glovebox USB
If you don't use the flashlight in your e46 BMW glovebox, here is a nice USB port adaptor that will plug right into the dash and give you two switched ports! I removed the center of the flashlight receptacle with a screwdriver and removed the pins, which are reused in the new adapter. Print both pieces, then wire two of these buck converters with 18AWG wire. There is not a lot of space, so you need to be delicate. Pin closest the the edge is negative. Solder the lead wires to the pins before inserting from the bottom - be careful not to insert too far. Push the assembled converter into the receptacle, push the female connector housing onto the back, plug in the wire from the car and re-inser Fuse and insulate any added wiring correctly, secure it from chafe and confirm the circuit remains serviceable.

Door Trim Clip
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.

Speaker adapter rings (woofer and tweeter)
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.

Compact Rear-Shelf Retaining Clip
When I bought a E46 Compact it had broken rear shelf retaining clip. So whenever I opened the trunk the shelf would hang randomly in the air. Also it made closing the trunk hard, as it jammed between the trunk lid and the body of the car. So I decided to make a model of the broken shelf clip, that came with the car. It may need some sanding or filing to achieve a better fitment in the shelf steel tube. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Positive-Terminal Base Cover
Mine got lost, so I decided to make one! Print in PETG or other heat resistant filament. BMW (E46 3 Series, E83 X3) Battery Positive Terminal Base B + - Cover Cap (61138371011) Fuse and insulate any added wiring correctly, secure it from chafe and confirm the circuit remains serviceable.

Facelift Kidney-Grille Clips

M3 Valve-Shim Tool
I designed this valve shim placement tool to aid in my recent valve adjustment on my 2004 BMW E46 M3. After viewing the picture of this special tool online, I decided it wasn't worth the money to order one, so I purchased some magnets and printed one instead. The magnet I used is a 8mm(0.315") Diameter x 3mm(0.118") Height, and was embedded into the base during the printing stage. I used the color change feature of PrusaSlicer to stop the print before the top layer and inserted the magnet. I printed both parts out of PETG and glued them together with cyanoacrylate. The tool was tested on my engine and worked perfectly. I even did the hard to reach rear valves with this homemade tool. Use the specified automotive-grade material, keep the tool square and inspect the serviced component before reassembly.

Cupholder Expander
[*TIRES SQUEAL AROUND TIGHT BEND* "Ugh, there goes my polar pop!"] Don't let this be you! This E46 cup holder expander will give your large size beverage a more comfortable place to rest. I have designed this one using Fusion360's shape optimization (hence the crazy design). Feel free to edit as you please and make the cup holder fit your favorite oversize mug or water bottle using the attached Fusion360 File. Enjoy. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Convertible Hardtop Covers
My wifes car was equiped with a Hard top, but during summertime the hardtop is removed and there were these big gaping holes in the plastic trim. Apparantly there is a cover that fits there, but they cost aroun €60-80, each.. Can't have it that way and i wont pay that crazy amount for some plastic. Designed my own and sanded and plastidipped in black.. Looks good enough for me.. If you don't want to make one self, search for these part numbers on ebay or your local bmw dealer. 51717022385 51717022386 PS: The bunny ears will break, so just break them of before mounting.. They never aligned up but the part will not fall away.. it is snugg fittment. :) Use exterior-rated material and verify secure retention, sealing and adjacent-panel clearance.

Touring Hatch Carpet-Panel Repair Clips
The carpeted panel on the interior of the E46 touring hatch is tricky to remove, and often the retaining clips are broken. I have created these two clips which can be epoxied in place to return normal function. In order to use them, completely cut the broken part of the clips out as shown in the photo then, use an epoxy like JB Weld liberally - the holes provide a mechanical bond for the epoxy. Note there are a right and a left. I did not create the center clip. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Rear Seat-Back Panel Repair Clip
Replacement upper retaining clip for the rear front-seat back panel, modeled from the surviving seat-panel clip profile and physically compared with the panel. The nearby V5BB Brombeer catalog number identifies the complete parent panel and is intentionally omitted. Confirm seat movement, belt access and occupant clearance before use.

Windshield-Washer Filter / Strainer Holder
Many of these filters for the windshield washer reservoir get's broken and fall down into the water. The design is using the filter of the old holder and fits nice into your windshield water reservoir. Cut of the filter from the old holder. Glue it on the bottom. Cut off everything protruding. Done! The bar helps you to get the filter out for cleaning. Use heat-, UV- and fluid-resistant material and verify full wiper or washer clearance.

Rear Armrest Cupholder
Cupholder insert for the rear armrest of BMW E46. The backing is inserted under the leather. Use the backing to mark the location for your cuts. A single slit in the center "web" is also needed to get the backing into the armrest. Carve out the foam as needed to clear the cupholder. Insert the backing, insert the cupholder and use 6 wood screws to hold them together. The screws I used have 4mm outer thread. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Power window carriage
Greetings. At the moment, the model has already been strengthened and differs from the photo! There was a lot of window play in my E46. the glass rose heavily and crookedly. after disassembling the power window, it became clear that there was strong wear and tear and a large backlash. The brace does not come as a separate spare part, and you cannot buy an official one separately. My model is not perfect, it is robust, reinforced. Copes with its function. Window regulator carriage, right door, farthest from the motor v7. home plate (m) the following model, using the native metal plate in the link Dry-fit before fastening and verify glass, latch, wiring and trim clearance through full operation.

Coupe glass mirror riser (RHD to LHD, LHD to RHD)
i bought RHD mirrors to my LHD e46 non-M Coupe and I created this raisers in order to get a better view angles (close to regular mirrors). This can be use to rise the angle of either side of the mirror and can be used in both mirrors. So with this you can "transform" RHD to LHD and viceversa. Dry-fit before fastening and verify glass, latch, wiring and trim clearance through full operation.

Sliding Rear Ashtray Cover Door
Hello this is an alternative sliding cover for rear console ashtray in an e46. Both my brothers and my e46 were missing the covers and its a bit of a pricey piece to replace for what it is. I printed in PLA+ with layer lines running against the slats to prevent breakage. Id recommend something like PETG but so far so good in our cars! Included is a 10min test piece file to check fitment and flexibility of your material. You can bend bottom of the cover gently to the curve of the slot before inserting first time to make it go in smooth. If the top of the cover with handle isnt flush when first installed you can bend it up a bit until its flat. I did what I had to do make it work with PLA+ so Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

All 3 parts on my Cults profile: 3D MODEL DESCRIPTION Side BMW E46 interior mounts for windshot. All 3 parts are combinable with the original parts, so you dont have to print all 3 parts and you can choose only these you need. 3D PRINTING SETTINGS I printed in PETG - original settings. Automaticaly generated supports in Prusa Slicer are totally ok to remove. After printing, I recommend to lubricate screw with the nut before tightening. PLA will not be durable enough for outside conditions, so PETG, ABS or ASA are ideal options. Use exterior-rated material and verify secure retention, sealing and adjacent-panel clearance.

M54 Crankshaft-Seal Removal Tool
I used this tool to remove the crankshaft seal on the M54 engine timing cover. To use it properly, you must place the removal tool from the inside of the timing cover, pushing the seal out towards the outside of the timing cover. Use a mallet and some patience to get it out. Use the specified automotive-grade material, keep the tool square and inspect the serviced component before reassembly.

Center-Support Bearing Press Tool
This is for installing a new center support bearing on your E46 driveshaft without risking damaging the bearing. Simply apply some lubricant where the bearing will seat onto the driveshaft and slide bearing on. Then use the tool to hammer in the bearing. It is easier to do with 2 people or if you can stand up and balance the driveshaft with your legs (Ask me how I know). Use the specified automotive-grade material, keep the tool square and inspect the serviced component before reassembly.

Confirm body and lamp variant, secure every fastener, and verify weather sealing and legal lamp operation.

Hazard / Lock Button Cover
My dog rides shotgun and would always step on the hazard button when getting in and out, or when I left him in the car. I made this button cover to prevent paws from being able to activate the buttons, but still allow a finger to hit them easily. This is a friction fit in my car and doesn't move around at all. I sanded the top surface in the main picture. source openscad file is attached. Print Settings Printer Brand: PowerSpec Printer: PowerSpec 3D Pro Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm layer height Infill: 20% Notes: printed upside down Post-Printing I sanded the top surface to make it a matte finish so it doesn't stick out in the car.

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

Shift Boot Bracket
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.

Windshield Cowl Seal Repair
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.

Touring Roof-Rail Gaskets
Seals for the BMW E46 320i Touring for the roof rails. Print settings: Material: Filaflex Semisoft Supports: No Layer height: .3 Infill: 40% Use exterior-rated material and verify secure retention, sealing and adjacent-panel clearance.

cap nut for engine cover
This is a nut for the engine cover as seen in the second image. It works for e46 316i,318i and 320i, possibly for other models that have the same nut. Note: you will need an O-ring or rubber washer (⌀10mm) to prevent unscrewing due to the engine vibrations, the original nut has one too. You'll need ABS filament or PET-G, PLA filament will break after a couple of months. Print Settings Printer Brand: Artillery Printer: Artillery Hornet Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 25 Filament: ABS or PET-G Notes: minimum 3 perimeter for Vertical shells Category: Automotive Use the specified automotive-grade material, keep the tool square and inspect the serviced component before reassembly.

Magnetic Rear-Seat ISOFIX Cover
Isofix cover for BMW E46 I was missing one of the isofix covers so I modeled and printed this one. It's not a perfect copy since I added a bit of thickness in some parts to make it stronger. You can see in one of the images the differences between the original and the 3d printed part. For this one the ABS filament is required since the PETG & PLA are not rigid enough. Added a magnetic version, magnet can be glued in place, 20 x 10 x 3 mm magnet size. This alleviates the need to print the part in ABS for strength. Print Settings Printer: TwoTrees Bluer Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Filament: Generic ABS Black Notes: Category: Automotive Confirm seat movement, belt access and occupant clearance before use.

Wiper clip
So I broke my wiper clip while replacing some other stuff on the car. There's not really a viable/economical replacement and original part does not take well to super glue. I started from another STL and modeled over it in fusion. Then did a couple of test prints and iterated as I went. Depending on your tolerances, filament, and shrinkage, you may have to fiddle with the final dimensions. Printed in PC-ABS. It doesn't fall off when using the windshield washing function. idk if I'd use it in a rally race. Use at your own risk. Use heat-, UV- and fluid-resistant material and verify full wiper or washer clearance.

N42 86 mm Oil-Filter Housing Wrench
Sixteen-flat 86 mm service wrench for the oil-filter housing on E46 models with the N42B18A engine, designed for a 12.5 mm square drive. The creator shows the physical tool on a ratchet.

Front-door adapter for installing a 165 mm speaker in the E46 Compact, whose factory speaker differs from other E46 bodies. The creator documents the original door, factory speaker, printed adapter and finished installation. Dry-fit before fastening and verify glass, wiring, cone and door-trim clearance through full window travel.

Sun Visor Clip
Print a cheap replacement for OEM E46 sun visor clips. I recommend printing at 100% infill to prevent splitting at layers when installed. I had good success with a 98A TPU filament at 100% infill with supports on. Just give extra support spacing with TPU and use a torch after to lightly clean up any strings. Wouldn't recommend PLA due to the high temperature that the inside of vehicles can see during the summer heat. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Coupe and Convertible Speaker Adapter Set
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.

Roof Rails Replacement Part
When I bought some roof rails, the flaps for the screws to not scratch the paint had been broken off. So I threw this quick redesign together. It's mostly a replica with slight adjustments for better printing. DO NOT USE PLA, PETG, OR ABS You should consider a high-quality, very weather and outdoor-resistant filament. I used CPE CF112. Alternatives may include PA CF12 or PP. Print slow. Low to no fan. The chamber should be at least 40°C for best layer adhesion. Works best with 100% infill. Sadly I could not find the specific part number for this, I've heard a simple washer should do just as well. However, I'd like to keep it as original as possible with this, as it also helps with alignment. Use exterior-rated material and verify secure retention, sealing and adjacent-panel clearance.

Pioneer GM-D1004 Amplifier Bracket
This bracket allows to mount the Pioneer GM-D1004 amp in place of the factory amp in the trunk. I used PETG and it works fine. Put some automotive Tesa tape on the metal ears before sliding the bracket to dampen vibrations. If You are missing a mounting screw or nut here are the codes: 07119902932, 61131372033. Fuse and insulate any added wiring correctly, secure it from chafe and confirm the circuit remains serviceable.

Boot handle fix
Print these to fix the broken boot handle on your BMW. Theyre designed so they squeeze in the holes, creating some tension to be able to screw the handle to the car. The “center” ones are for the 2 center bolts, the “side” ones for the outer ones. Fits nice and neat on my 2003 e46 Touring, may need some slight adjusting but worked well enough for me. Use exterior-rated material and verify secure retention, sealing and adjacent-panel clearance.

vent 52mm gauge pod
We did 6 different version to get it in the angle that it faces the driver. We had a tight fit so it did not need any mounting to the dash, but maybe some glue or other adhesive wouldn't hurt. Printed flat down on the surface, with ABS+ to resist the summer heat in the car. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

Switched 12-Volt Ashtray Insert
Replacement ashtray insert with space for a switch that disconnects the E46 always-live cigarette-lighter outlet. The creator documents the physical insert, wiring and installed switch.

4" speaker adapter for lateral trim panel rear
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.

Ashtray Storage insert
Inserts into the stock E46 ashtray, should be friction fit.

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.

Adjustable Clutch Stop
Adjustable clutch-pedal stop body for manual-transmission BMW E28 and other listed classic BMW chassis. Assembly requires an M10 screw, two M10 nuts, a 40 mm washer and a genuine-style rubber cap. Adjust only far enough to remove excess pedal travel while preserving complete clutch disengagement, then lock the nuts securely and re-check operation before driving.

Match battery size, tray slot and hold-down engagement, and do not use it to compensate for an incorrect battery or damaged clamp.
Floor-Mat Retaining Fastener
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. Verify dimensions against the original part and confirm full operation before regular use.

Fuel-Tank Screw-Cap Wrench
Service wrench for the notched BMW fuel-tank screw cap used on E46, E60/E61, E63/E64, E65–E68, E83 and E53 vehicles. The creator tested the same interface on an R53 MINI and identified BMW screw cap 16116762417; BMW catalog cross-reference independently confirms that cap across the listed BMW chassis. The printed wrench is not the screw cap itself, so no OEM number is assigned. Use a stiff engineering polymer, hand tools only, and replace rather than reuse any visibly damaged print.

Trunk Cargo Hook
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.
