RealOEM part number issue - what is this part?

[kronus]

I needed to replace the vacuum hose that goes from my TB to the valve cover. The part is the hose pictured here.

Ordering by the part number, I got this part:


The part number on it is 11151708801, which is the part number listen on RealOEM.

So, what the hell is this hose, and what's the right part number that I need?

assuming you have an M20B2X motor, that is the correct hose, it just happens to look nothing like the photo

did you cross check it with Max's site...
the one you have is for an e34 525

I try to use Max's site and him for ordering, they actually drive these cars as well as E28's so they really know them and the part numbers for them...

Maximillians Importing...their pricing is up to date also

just enter VIN to get to the E30 page, next year he is allowed to display it on the home page...
or find the part number at RealOEM and search by part number @ Max's

that is the correct part for an e30 325i, tho...

Hmm, my hose looks like the hose in the realoem diagram, definitely not like the hose I got.

The pictured hose would end up either up by the firewall or on the wrong side of the throttle body if I installed it.
