Help Identifying Parts (heat shield, fuel tank drain washer, fuel tank pads)

[cory58]

I'm having trouble tracking down part numbers and other info for some parts on my Touring and hoping R3v can help.

1. Is there a part number for the copper crush washer on the fuel tank drain plug? Real OEM deoesn't even show the plug.

2. Where is this heat shield on the parts diagrams? Can't find it on Real OEM. I need to check out the rust behind it and will need to replace hardware upon reinstall.

3. I also can't find the two small pads on top of the gas tank on RealOEM. Is that something you can even get from BMW? If not, is there a recommended replacement material? Here is a pick of one of the pads.

As always, any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Cory

As for the heat shields. Try at the very bottom of vehicle trim on realoem. For the crush washer try fuel tank attaching parts. On my coupe 07119963072

Thank you! I never would have found the crush washer because it's not even listed for a 320i Touring. Regarding the heat shield, I must have been blind. After posting the question I checked the diagram with the other heat shields for the 4th or 5th time and there it was.

Bumping for my question #3 above. Hoping someone has dealt with these pads when replacing/refurbishing a gas tank.

#2 good call about the rust. There is a good change the last stud of that shield (further under the car) will be messed up. I had to remove the carpet to repair mine properly

#3 . you can use any dense closed cell foam or neoprene in there. Closed cell so it doesn't hold the moisture. I cut up old yoga mat when I did mine. Some folk use this if you don't have anything to use https://www.amazon.com/XCEL-Neoprene...86451240&psc=1
