Can Someone ID These Parts?
Hey, guys, I have a few questions regarding my 2006 330i. I recently bought it and I have a few questions.
First, where is my TCU module located? I have an issue with it and I can't seem to find it, all the online tutorials say under the trunk floor but my trunk floor is covered with this carpet-like layer and I can't seem to find where they could possibly stick a TCU module. Second, I have these car parts in the trunk that I need someone to ID: The black thing on the bottom has the words "BMW Safety Part. DO NOT REMOVE" and a BMW manufacture date on the back of it. Third, while trying to look for the TCU, I opened this compartment that is on the left side (battery compartment is in the right side) of the trunk. Can someone tell me what this is? Judging by the metal fin design, it seems like an electrical component that would get a lot of heat, maybe an inverter? Also, what is that wire that isn't hooked up to it? It's in some sort of wrap and is just lying there. Thank you in advance. |

What is the part # on the white label? Almost looks like an audio amp. |

You are right. I checked the part number and it's an amp. Any idea what the other two are? I found the TCU under the cargo carpetting, to the right near the back seat

The other two are for the battery. The metal brace Holds down the battery for roll over protection (Part No. 1 in the first pic). The black Styrofoam (Part No. 11 in the 2nd pic) goes around the battery hold down bolt (Part No. 3) in the first pic.

Thanks for the reply, Efthreeoh! Do I really need those two parts in there? I am missing both bolts that hold the anti-roll bar in place and it seems to be pretty pricey for replacement. BMW says it's safety equipment and shouldn't be removed, but I'm not sure if it's worth it as I've never seen an instance where a battery needed anti-roll equipment.

Anyways, I'm missing parts 2-8 so I'll go place an order with realOEM, the stuff like the elbows you can't get elsewhere. |

Attached is the TIS battery replacement procedure. Hope all this helps. You can't order from real OEM.com but you can find all the part numbers and then order the parts on line. I use getBMWparts.com because they are a large stocking dealer and usually have most everything in stock or two-days shipment from BMW USA. Just get all the parts from them, or at least use all BMW OEM parts, the prices or not unreasonable. |
