Howdy Folks, I am fixing to replace the air intake hoses (2) in my 93 400e, one end is attached to the grill and the other end to the airfilter housing. It is black in color, about 5 inches in diameter and 2ft in length. For some reason none of the online catalogs have them listed as 'air intake hose'. Does anyone know what is the correct name/number for this part ?? Also, there is a black connector that plugs into the coolant reservoir sensor. This connector seems to be worn out due to coolant leakage and the raditor light comes on in the dash once in a while. Again, I don't know what this part is called. Please advise. Thanks smk_texas 93 400e 86 BMW 325e

hey, i have the same car and i just those new air pipes from the dealer i tried to find them out from everywhere but there was no luck so i went to the dealer and he got them ordered from Germany they look so much better than the original ones \ i paid 50 bucks each and it took my dealer 3 days to get them
so take it from me u cannot find them anywhere else no one else sells it even i tried so many junk yards but no luck just get the new ones from the dealer and u ll be surprised how they will look better in ur car
2nd issue that is also a DEALER item not expensive i know soem one there so he didnt even charge me anything
hope this might help

take care
mani :p
sorry u asked fo rteh part number i have no clue i threw ou tthe packing for that ,,,well u can just explain them or take ur older one to the dealer and they can easily replace that for u

Before giving up on net sources, call Phil at FastLane. They have LOTS more parts in stock than show in the 'catalog'. What he has done for me is e-mail me a pic of the exploded diagram for the section in question, then I'll call him back with the item locator number, and he can usually get the part much cheaper than the dealer.

I second Steve's comments. I replaced my air intake hoses from FastLane. Much cheaper than the dealer. Call Phil and he'll treat you right!

RE: the coolant tank sensor, the sensors themselves do go bad fairly often. I replaced mine a couple years ago. The floats can get filled with coolant or they can leak just enough to short out the connector plug. Cheap fix.

smk_texas,
Never seen a green 400e. Sounds cool. Post a picture some time if you get a chance. (Mine's black pearl.)

Tim,

Fastlane has the part for $29.00 a piece which I think is a great price. I checked with some dealers in the Dallas area and they quoted $59 ea. I will be visiting a salvage yard tomorrow for a decent used set.
If I can't find it then I will order it from Phil@Fastlane. Hope this helps. Thanks
