Hi Guys

Connects to the air intake boot
This f-connector is located on the air intake boot and provides a connection point for the vacuum lines that run to the brake booster and fuel pressure regulator. As your vehicle ages, heat and exposure to the elements cause the connector to become brittle and potentially crack. As a result, a vacuum leak occurs which can cause poor idling issues, evap fault codes, and poor performance.

On the system the part looks like a "L" shape. The part is actually the F connector that's required, I had the same issue when I had to have mine replaced. I this this is the part number, cost something like R17, 13327503677.

Check out this link for confirmation: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=574814

Also, if you we're thinking of buying a new pipe it's around R300, it's not really worth it. Just cut the piece off where the connector broke inside the pipe.
