Intake manifold parts?

[dvorak9085]

Hello guys,
I know you gonna laugh at me and say to yourself self “How's it even possible?!??”
But I was working on cleaning the intake manifold and somehow I lost the swirl flap ‘control arm’ that connects to the motor.
Is there any place I can get this part as itself??
Thanks!

Haha I won't ask the question then.

Maybe it's time to hit a pothole as the kids are calling it these days?

Are you part of the NABDOG group on FB? There are folks on there who part out X5ds constantly that can probably hook you up.

You can run w/o swirl flap control. Might get a CEL but the engine will run fine w/o it. Just keep the swirl flap motor plugged in if you're not tuning it out.

Hey man, thanks for replaying, and sorry for the BIG delay 😅
Just don't have time for the car and I found the missing part 🤦
Anyway, I have a question - if I delete the swirl flaps and I live in a very hot country in the Middle East, will it affect the engine somehow?
