Hey there! I'm on the hunt for the two drain plugs that fit beneath the E46 coupe's battery tray in the trunk. Even BMW's official dealer was of little assistance. I would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me the name of the supplier or the component number for them. Regarding any assistance, I am grateful in advance.

Greetings and salutations. I appreciate you contacting me. I have tried searching for the part number using the real oem method, but when I do a Google search, the part that appears does not match the one that was there. Obviously, any water can drain out of the plug because it has a mesh in the middle. Despite what the main dealer told me, it is not a solid paint plug.

So you're claiming that the original plug contains a mesh? Blind grommets, 22 mm in diameter, are on my E91, the following generation.
It seems like the E46 I had before didn't have what you're saying.

Drain plugs with mesh are present in both my 2004 330 Coupe and my son's 2005 325 Coupe. I have tried to get the correct ones from them for my Skoda, but they were placed over six months ago, so I really doubt they will ever arrive—no matter how much I chase them, they just keep saying the order is in progress.

I believe I have completed this.

Never seen one before, however it would be cool to get one if you locate one.
If you happen to come across a part number, please inform us.
After cutting the center out of a piece of fine aluminium mesh—which I believe was part of a body repair kit from a long ago—I have cut a few little discs from it to fit in the bling gromet.
