That's the correct part number for the driver side ... you'll be shocked how much these are new! Also a little tip ... always just buy the driver side one as this is the one without the seat occupancy sensor glued into the foam which cost nearly double the price of the driver side. Just rip one out of a normal E46 and leave it under the cushion on the passenger side if you need to replace the passenger side cushion.

The foam can be rebuilt however by a good upholstery shop, so I'd look into that if the fabric isn't worn. Just be careful when you remove the seat cover as there's a plastic rail glued in the middle of the foam where the alcantara joins the Amaretta Reflex fabric and if you just pull the seat cover off it'll pull this rail off the foam which can be a real royal pain in the backside to glue back in correctly.
