intake air box grommet



Does anyone know where to get these mounting grommets for the air box? I got a new intake and noticed that these were destroyed. Thanks

That's a great question. That part does not look familiar to us, we recommend taking that part into a dealer and see if they can help you match it up.
Happy motoring!

I think I found it. It's part of the battery tray and they don't have a separate part number for it as it appears to come as an assembly (that sucks):

Thank you, well I guess I have to go look for a generic grommet that will fit

Mine are pretty chewed up too. I'm not gonna worry about it though, not too concerned with airbox flopping around or anything =)

Update,
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...op-13717571356
This grommet from BMW will fit, but you need to shave the top half to be the same size as the bottom half.

I think this will be a good 3D printing project to work on. When I get the chance, I'll check on mine and try to draw it on fusion 360 or solidworks to attempt a print.

Did you ever get a chance to 3D print something for this?

Reviving an old thread. Discovered one of mine has disintegrated while changing the battery in my '16 F54. In the 3.5 years since this thread, has anyone heard of a solution?

I never found a direct replacement. But if you don't mind a little diy, this one from ECS fits: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...op-13717571356.
You just have to shave off the top half so it's the same diameter as the bottom half. I'll get a picture of it in my car when I get the chance. Hope that helps.

I am holding the remains in my hand right now. I'm quite confident that there are no markings at all.
