Air Intake Pipe

[Carmad84]

Morning all,

So I recently bought myself a 2.5 and one of the issues is that the intake pipe has started to perish so I need a replacement. My question is where is best to buy one?

Thanks,

If you mean the one going to the throttle body then BMW, there about £30. You could try Sopher BMW in Lincoln as they offer forum discount.
Its not worth fitting a secondhand one they all tend to perish so its a bit of a false economy.

They aren't expensive from BMW, I replaced mine (3.0Se) a couple of weeks ago, from memory it was less than £30 and in stock, so obv a common one. Mine had perished in several places.

Hi Mack, its part 6 on the diagram. Lincoln is a little far from me.

I wont be buying a second hand part, not worth the hassle. Was just wondering other than BMW whom would sell it i.e. cheaper!

Thanks,

Just noticed the receipt sort of "filed" in the shop, well next to the kettle lol - I was right though..

Sopers Lincoln will deliver. If you can find a sound generator on eBay it may be worth adding one and buying the 3.0 intake boot rather than the 2.5. I did on my 2.2 and it sounds great!
