Sorry to bother you guys , but I've been trying to find these on auto doc without success, would anyone know the part number or have a link. I'm driving a 2008 E86 si sport .. black engine cover. Cheers

RealOEM is your friend (this is based on my 2006 N52, but it should be the same):

Brilliant. Thanks

I didn't realise there was only one. That makes life cheaper

It lists the quantity as 2 tho and, having had a quick search, they're stacked one above the other. I presume they've done the diagram like that for clarity.

My mistake, I missed that. Thanks

I've found a pair of pierburg ones for £150 are they as good as OE BMW ones?

I went with VDO/Continental ones at £79.16 each with one of the 41 percent discount days.
