Hello,

Can anyone identify what this is and where it's supposed to go?
I was replacing the cabin air filter and found this under the bottom filter. I tried to figure where it's supposed to go and came up empty.

Any help is appreciated!

Any numbers on it?

And what car? Your profile says you drive an M3. This is an X3 forum.

Thanks for your help!

We just bought a 2017 X3 35i.

The current part number is 61126825706. It is, not helpfully, called a "cover". The drawings on RealOEM.com show it as part of the microfilter housing assembly. You should look there.

What it looks like to me functionally is a drain for the housing.

Thank you so much!
Finally figured it out. The part number and diagram really helped!

They do not all have this part. I actually retrofitted it to my 2011 because it works in conjunction with the updated micro filter lid to aid in water draining.

Hello,

My X3 got this part replaced with a new one under a campaign TSB. Apparently the original clogs easily and can cause electrical gremlins under rain. I have a 2015 BMW X3 LCI
