Technical specifications — Fitting Position: Front Left, Fitting Position: Front Right, Cone Size [mm]: Silicone mm, External Thread [mm]: M12x1, Rubber mm — are verified against the OEM data sheet to guarantee fitment accuracy and performance parity with the original equipment. Compatible with BMW vehicles; use the vehicle selector above to confirm exact fitment for your make, model, and engine variant. Fitment data is sourced from TecDoc, the authoritative European parts catalogue. This part supersedes original equipment references: 001-10-25405, 03825, 03.BJ.443, 040 0149 and 155 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function.
