I just bought a 03 r53. It was partially in parts bc an alternator change and supercharger service. I have put it back together and I have a spare bolt left over which I don't know where belongs. It says "ESKA 88" on the head. Its 10cm long and the head is a 13mm. Help is much appreciated! Thanks
It isn't the bolt that goes up through the frame for the oil filled motor mount is it? [sorry, I'm sure there's a more official name for that motor mount, it just won't come to me this minute.]
That might be easy to miss as it's out of sight when looking at things.

I would guess a supercharger or a/c compressor bolt. I'm not familiar with superchargers as my Mini doesn't have one.
Interesting. An M8 x 100 hex head bolt with captured washer. It is 8.8 grade and has a factory corrosion resistant coating. The residue indicates it goes into a long housing and probably does not experience the outside world (not enough dirt on it). The damaged hex indicates it was hard to remove as if it has a 13mm hex, there isn't a slightly larger SAE wrench size.
