RealOEM lets you search for European models...I've just been putting in specific VINs.
Max's fiche doesn't let you search by part number...that I can see.
Wow...is that cumbersome! I did the search at Max's on the specific part and it brings up quite a display that is quite "tall"...I really have to scroll to find anything. I guess that's why I like RealOEM. We each get used to what works...

What is the realOEM website address? I want to add it to my "motorcycle" list of favorites.
MAX isn't very cumbersome, but I think the description was a bit cumbersome. From the fiche home page there's a search option that takes you to the list of diagrams that use that part. Simple as that. You can optionally limit the search to certain vehicles, and pre-load the currently selected vehicle by going Parts Catalog -> Search. That's about it.
The duplication is often that you see the ECE models as well as the US vehicles, but all duplication is valid. It's a separate use of the part.
Good afternoon,
Finally after several years I am getting to the 76 BMW R75/6 restoration. Just pulled the backend where the flywheel is located and placed my order with my local BMW dealer when the thought crossed my mind, in that has anyone crossed over the BMW part number to a Parker O-Ring number? I just find it frustrating in that I want to complete the reassembly, only to have to wait till the parts arrive which sometimes takes up to ten (10) days.
I realize this thread is somewhat old, but was just wondering whether you found the o rings you were looking for. I took my used o rings to a local place where they measured them and sold me a couple of viton rings for the oil pump cover and the flywheel. I'm still a little nervous about using them, but they look like they should work. If I use them, I can get everything back together today, which would be nice. Otherwise, it will probably be Monday before the ones I ordered arrive. The ones I got are -Flywheel 57mmx63mmx3mm. Oil pump cover- didn't have a metric, but gave me a 2-3/8 X 2.5 x 1/16.
Do you mean oil pump cover, or do you mean oil filter cover?
If you know the exact o-ring size (metrics are also available) you can substitute ones from an o-ring supplier like McMaster-Carr.
Several things besides just size are also critical. The material - must be heat and oil resistant - vitons were used on hot plastic hydraulic machines, but there also is teflon, and other materials like buna - read MCarr page and it explains uses for various materials. Also critical is the durometer rating - this is how hard the oring is. 70 durometer is common, but at the plastics factory, they liked 90 better - less deformation under pressure.
One other thing, when determining oring size, be careful as some of the methods are a little "iffi." Also, try to use the proper oring for the location and measure a NEW one. Some orings get distorted after use, and sometimes expand, and sometimes shrink or get hard and brittle which makes measuring more difficult.
