This is the oval cupped cover plate on the engine bay side of the heater inlet/outlet pipes. I have attached a photo from the heater rebuild DIY from Eric in the Netherlands. Great write up BTW. Marco has helped identify the part number, but when I google or search BMW nothing shows up. Does anyone have one of these to spare? Thanks, Mike

U bet. Still completing the heater refurb, so no huge rush. Just surprised I did not notice this before. Could be a source of heated engine compartment air, entering where it is not supposed to. I have ordered the new seals that go there, but need this plate to do it right. Thanks Ed. Mike
 
1972 as well. The diagram in realoem shows what is also in the photo above. The Blue book describes removal as : " remove cover plate and foam sealing" so I think I want that because I have ordered the foam sealing from the dealer and I want to have the best install ever! I mean, once I saw this, I figured that since my main objective was to achieve a cooler cabin, I would look at ways to minimize heat transfer from engine bay into cabin. This was one obvious opening that I could improve upon. Hence, my search for said "cover plate" . Interesting, but not surprising, that a 49 year old car would, perhaps, be missing a piece. ;)
 
Damn!! I can't find the extra plate that I know I have. I'll continue looking, but if you can source another, I'd appreciate it.

Very sorry! -Ed G

No worries Ed. I appreciate the effort. 2 weeks ago I was certain I had a couple of interior trim parts that someone needed. Looked everywhere. Perhaps they hooked up with your heater cover plate! ;)
