If I search part #: 21207546378
The photo actually looks similar to the non-compatible pressure plate I had previously: New BMW E53 Clutch Kit DMF x5 2004 2005 2006 Luk 03 077 21207546378 | eBay
So I am not sure that model is right.
It also lists:
OE # , 21.20.7.546.378
Where my clutch had:
21.27.7.526.600 |
If you search that part number your clutch had ^^
That is a part number for a clutch plate only (using RealOEM) which cross references E83, E46, E53, and E60
The reason the part number 21.20.7.546.378 should be what you are using is because that is the part number for complete clutch kit (plate, disc, and throwout bearing)
Also - perhaps the disc/plate were updated over the years so its possible it might look slightly different than your original factory installed plate? Either way its not an E53 unicorn, as the E83 and E60 and all E46 6MT used the same clutch kit.
