[Serge]

Hey man,

Before I start,i'm french so if I say anything or don't write something the correct way,bear with me...lol

I just bought a 1991 318is for fun,and I want to get it in really good shape.I brought to the garage for inspection and they noticed all the tubes that connect to the air intake boot or whatever are all cracked and need to be replaced...they resaerched they're computer and they are not able to get them,more specifickly...the one shaped like a "Y" located in a hard to see spot.(connected to the air intake).

So I'd just like to know where can I get them and what are they called exactly,thanks guys....later!

Welcome!

I am not familiar with the E30s, but I have had issues simila to what you describe. The auto parts stores usually have generic hoses and fittings in different sizes. You should be able to buy a generic T or a Y and some hose to build your own replacement.

Plus, you can always go to the BMW dealer to buy the parts if you need to - they should either have these in stock or should be able to order them for you.

Yeah I wish there was a BMW dealership close ...the closest one is 7 hour drive,weird huh? [???1] ...that's why I wanted to know the name of these tubes so I can call the dealership and order.

But this morning I talked to the owner of a garage and he knows a company that only deals with BMW parts and he can order almost anything I need ,so I think I'll be alright now....thanks for makin' me feel welcome!!!...later!

Regards,
Serge.
