BMW 3 Series E46 3D-printable parts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Repair bushing for the E46 and E53 window regulator, physically assembled and load-tested by the creator with an M6 thread. The creator warns that ordinary PLA failed in summer heat. Use heat-resistant automotive material, dry-fit before fastening, and verify glass, latch, wiring and trim clearance through full operation.

Contour spacer demonstrated with aftermarket side repeaters on BMW bodywork. The creator lists E36 from October 1996, E46 sedan/Touring, E60/E61, E81/E82/E87/E88 and E90–E93 applications. Test one side before mirroring and verify the repeater remains weather-sealed and positively retained.

Dimensioned replacement glovebox damper pin for BMW E21, E28, E30, E31, E34, E38, E39, E46 and E60/E61. The creator identifies BMW pin 51161828956 and shows the physical result installed. Verify damper eye and panel thickness before fitting.

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.

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.

Battery-retaining spacer reproduced from BMW component 61211350825 for E30, E34, E39 and E46. BMWFans identifies it as spacer 1350825 and confirms those chassis among broader BMW usage. Match battery size, tray slot and hold-down engagement, and do not use it to compensate for an incorrect battery or damaged clamp.

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.

The original plugs in the drain/vent of the e46 are cracking or missing, print a new one! Print it in TPU and install in the car. May be compatible with other cars of the brand but i didn't have others to try. Verify secure retention, weather sealing and legal lamp operation before driving.

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.

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.

80 mm intake adapter for vacuum or smoke leak testing on the E46 M54B22, designed around a standard automotive valve and physically demonstrated on the engine. Use only at low diagnostic pressure, keep foreign material out of the intake and remove the adapter before starting or driving the vehicle.

Doorstep broken clip holder part replacement. Designed to have large surface area for glue to properly hold it. I have also designed the clip, check my other designs. Print with 5+ walls vertically oriented , and glue it on the bracket with 2 component glue for best results. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.

This adapter was used to mount a 25mm twweter of u-Dimension EL Comp 6 system into BMW E46 coupe. You need to print an aditional RH version of LH model provided below. Dry-fit before fastening and verify glass, latch, wiring and trim clearance through full operation.
