Need rubber grommets for engine cover
My X6M is missing the rubber grommets that the engine cover "snaps" into. They sit on studs on top of the engine. I can't find the part # anywhere.
Here is the large top cover: Top Cover Thanks!

And that looks like it's part of the air intake/air duct diagrams...so let's take a look there to see what we can find: ...it appears that there is a "set" of gaskets (#2 in diagram below) that are available for the air intakes around the radiator (#1 in diagram below). Click the following link to get the BMW 11 digit part nbr for #2...then to find vendors selling it (other than your local BMW dealership)...just type "BMW xx xx x xxx xxx" into a google/internet search field (where x=the actual bmw part nbr): http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E7..._trim/air_duct When you look up images of the cover (in question) and see both sides of it...there doesn't appear to be any "gaskets" attached to it. Which makes it more likely that the "gaskets" are as previously mentioned...are in another diagram and attached to other parts:

Thanks, but it looks like the gasket set in #2 is for vertical gaskets ..not necessarily the horizontal ones at the top plate. They fell off the last time I removed the air box so I couldn't see them as they were supposed to sit. Looking at the pic you found:
It looks like they didn't actually go all the way around the duct. It also seems like it's just a generic non-O shaped gasket. If that's the case I think regular neoprene gasket tape should work. |
