Part Identification Help please...

So my friend has been doing some bits on my car that needed doing - he sent me these 2 pictures, but I'm struggling to find exactly what they're called so that I can actually search for them on ECP of GSF etc.

: part_1.jpeg (117.05 KiB) Viewed 668 times

: part_2.jpeg (174.79 KiB) Viewed 668 times

He just said Air intake (pic 1) and breather (pic 2)..... but I'm not sure what breather pipe that is (and yes I've asked my mate of course, but signal is crap where he is so might not get a reply until tomorrow ha)

for the air intake though - it doesn't look replaceable, so is it a new intake?

Many thanks in advance

I'd say your best bet is to track it down on here unless someone knows the parts.

Trying that already - but I've no idea wtf they are actually called

I've tried searching breather and intake but can't find either of these parts

YES!!!!!!! Finally! I couldn't bloody find that on RealOEM - maybe it was woods for the trees as they say!! Mine is the 3.0i model - thanks for the links though I can at least get that ordered - now it's just the other mystery breather I need to identify lol

Doesn't help that I'm not home until tomorrow night, otherwise I'd just pop over and look myself and try and find a proper part number or at least a better pic haha

I've actually just realised I Think they're potentially the same piece! Part 5 in the picture - https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=13_0995

They are about £23+vat from BMW. I'd go genuine on this part.

Yup = Part 5 is £35 all in from my local bmw dealer. Same price as on eBay, except at least from dealer I'm guaranteed it's genuine

Always worth asking for a discount, there's clearly room for it as I've recently bought the same part for £24.11 posted.
