    Mystery bolt in trunk..

    Found this bolt laying around in the trunk of my E46. I've looked around in the trunk, but can't find any spot where it is suppost to go. It's a brass Philips-head with a little pin at the end of the thread and apparantly has loctite on it. Looks like it comes from the interior. Anyone seen one of there before and can tell me where they go?

    That's part of the battery hold down bracket that goes over the top of the battery.

    Cheers! Found it on some pictures, mine has a different bolt in the bracket. Probably the last guy lost it while changing the battery and now it popped back up, lol.
    Mystery solved then

    Mystery bolt in trunk..

    LOL!!! Most likely Cadmium plated steel.....and a screw, not a bolt. Threads full length by definition make it a screw…go figure. And yes, coated with ‘factory’ thread lock.

    And ya, sorry this didn’t help much, if any.
