Help identifing decals under the hood

JFleming · 03-14-2011, 07:12 PM

Hello,

I am rebuilding a Z4 that was totaled in an accident. One of the parts that is missing is the cover over the radiator and core support. I have purchased a new one, but I have noticed from looking at pictures that the original should have a couple decals on it. One is blue and one is black. I have not been able to see a clear enough picture of the cover to determine exactly what the stickers are for. I think one is something about the coolant and the other about the engine oil.

Could anyone take a close up photo of the stickers or at least confirm what they are for, so I can try to track them down?

The cover I am talking about is number three in the sketch.

Thank you,

Blue one is a reminder that aluminum screws need to be replaced and not reused. I think it's 71227619382.

Black one is a label specifying which oil and BMW part number is recommended for the engine. I think it's 71227502056.

Those part numbers are for a 3.0si with the N52 engine.

Here's a list of a lot of labels...

I totally get the restoration angle, but I removed those stickers the second day I got my car. The engine bay is very clean looking and those stickers stuck out like a sore thumb. I'd leave them off if it was me, but congrats on making the effort to restore a great car!

Thanks for the responses. I understand the clean look and personalizing a car, but I am attempting to return this car to a look like it just rolled out of the showroom.

Thanks again!

Do you want someone to take a photo of what they look like?
