idle control valve mounting?

[hugh jass]

The realoem website doesn't really show how the idle control valve mounts on the motor. Can any of you tell me how it mounts? the diagram shows a rubber mount that goes around the body of the icv, but then where does the mount attach? thanks.

To a bracket that bolts to the block.

Can you be any more specific? thanks.

I can't find the part #.

Anyone else have a clue?

It slips into a rubber sleeve that is mounted to a bracket on the engine. I have a bare engine at home with this bracket on it, but I won't be able to get to take a picture until this weekend.

Anyway, check out this picture on bimmerforums:

oh yeah, check out the article on cleaning the ICV. It should give you an idea of how the intake system works on the M/S50, because the author of the article pretty much disassembles the whole thing to get to the ICV.

is the article at the link on bimmerforums or somewhere else? i can't seem to get that bimmerforums link to open....
thanks for the response, though.

Hmm, that's weird, I thought I posted the link to the original thread! Here's the thread. You can't really make it out though.
