BMW (OE)
Air Intake/Breather Hose; Air Hose from Idle Control Valve
1 per car.
I bought two of these, one for each 325. I installed one in mid March, and yesterday noticed that it is already cracked/split on both ends. I am going to contact supplier, and see if they will replace item.
Seeing as these cars are getting older, is there a chance that we are buying 15+ year old NOS parts for them? Do some suppliers have inventories made up of parts manufactured at time of original production of the vehicles?
Also, is there a substitute part from a newer model that will fit?
Yeah, it's only $5.00, but a new part should last longer than two months, dammit!
