BMW 3 Series E46 / 5 Series E39 / Z4 E85 E86 Billet Aluminum Oil Dipstick Handle M52TU M54 1997 - 2008

Upgrade your engine bay with this precision-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum oil dipstick handle, a direct replacement for the factory plastic unit on M52TU and M54 engined BMW E46, E39, and Z4 E85/E86 models. The factory plastic dipstick handle is prone to brittleness and breakage over time as it is repeatedly exposed to engine heat — this aluminum replacement is significantly more durable, heat resistant, and visually superior. Redesigned to OE specifications for a precise fit, it installs using just two hex head screws with the included hex wrench and is available in three anodized finishes — red, blue, and bright silver — to suit any engine bay aesthetic.

Features:

• Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum construction – significantly more durable and heat resistant than the factory plastic handle which is prone to cracking and breaking over time
• Redesigned to OE specifications for a precise, factory-quality fit on M52TU and M54 engine applications
• Available in three anodized finishes – red, blue, and bright silver – to complement any engine bay build or colour scheme
• Simple installation using two hex head screws – no specialist tools required beyond the included hex wrench
