I'm kinda ashamed to ask but I just can't find it! I looked in the hood related area diagrams, core support area, light arm diagram, light diagram and it's not there at all.

I've found these 2 but they do not seem to be the same, stop buffer 51237162448 and bump stop 51238247699.

I just want to know if they are hood bump stops but on the engine bay, so basically just looking at what the name of that part is, because I am missing the "bump" stops in the hood but I suspect the ones in the hood aren't adjustable anyways.

that is the stop buffer part 51248254063

its item #8 on this exploded view.

Those parts looks to be part of the hood assembly, not the lower area... I was about to guess the same thing but the part it goes into looks different.

It should be coming out of #1 on this https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_5858

Might be a revision or an IS thing.

Wow thanks, no wonder I can't find it it's not even listed for my E92 335is, fitment seems to show for sedans and verts only. Don't know how it made it onto my car.

But thanks that does look like it. On your car is that up in the hood or installed on the bottom?

Sorry I don't quite understand what you mean?

I'm not sure why but that hole looks empty on the diagram. I think it's an error.

I just checked on my 06 and it is in the lower spot like yours is.

lookalikehuuh has the correct part I believe.

Ohh I get what you mean, yeah exactly that's why I was not looking at hood diagrams at first (even though it's not even listed in my 335is hood diagram).

Only thing I can guess on how I have that part is that they used that instead of the bump stops in the hood (51237162448) for what ever reason.

The parts probably have been revised. 51237162448 is the latest version of the hood bump stop. There are 3 of them. My 06 originally had 4 hood bump stops in the hood. The new parts go in different holes in the hood.
