M10 Flange Nut

The Genuine BMW Flange Nut M10, identified by part number 22116779973, is a critical hardware component designed to securely fasten engine mounts to the vehicle's subframe and engine support bracket. This M10 nut is essential for maintaining proper engine and transmission support, preventing excessive vibrations from entering the cabin, and ensuring correct drivetrain alignment. Engine mounts are vital for isolating the engine and transmission from the vehicle's chassis, and their failure can lead to noticeable issues such as increased engine noise, rocking during gear changes or braking, and premature wear on drivetrain components. Replacing the hardware, including these flange nuts, is recommended when servicing or replacing engine mounts, as the original nuts can become stripped or damaged during removal. It is noted that two nuts are required per engine mount, and a total of four nuts are needed for the vehicle. The product is listed as Genuine BMW, manufactured in Taiwan, and is compatible with a wide range of BMW models including E36, E46, E85, E70, and others, spanning model years from 1991 to 2019. Specific fitment details are available for numerous BMW 3 Series (325i, 325is, 328Ci), Z3, and other chassis. While this part is listed as fitting many BMW models, it is explicitly stated that the BMW K 1200 LT is not compatible with this flange nut. For complete and accurate fitment information, consulting with a BMW expert or utilizing vehicle-specific validation tools is recommended.
