2012 Clubman S broken engine air intake hose

My intake hose rotted off at the turbo side, big surprise. So the question is, do I get an OEM replacement for $140 or spend the extra $50 for the M7 intake? I still have the stock air box on it.

I splurged for the M7 pipe when mine cracked. It fits a little bit tight, but I never have to worry about it cracking again.

No issue with their sensor delete modules

This just happened to my 2011. I'm not in for the higher price units and am wondering if there are lower cost alternatives out there. Nothing wrong with the pipe other than the rubberized end on the turbo inlet has become disconnected from the plastic part.

I just ordered a piece from a guy off facebook. I have no idea where it came from originally. I will let you know what the packaging says when it gets delivered. With it you should be able to either plumb in custom piping or just chop off the bottom of the factory one and fit it on the silicone piece.

Not sure if this link will work: intact adaptor
