Revainrating 2 out of 5

Supplied compressed with round hose

I ordered this item to replace my own intake hoses on my BMW ZHP. The hoses were soft rubber when they arrived in the box, so tightly wrapped and taped that they were all seriously deformed. Getting the bottom hoses onto the flanges required some fiddling and a 15 minute job turned into a full day of work. (It became a two day job because the dealer who replaced them years ago installed the clamps upside down and backwards so you had to cut the old hoses off to even find a wrench on the nut to loosen them (a Another reason for SELF ASSEMBLY. According to BMW, the clamps should be installed so that the screw heads are accessible from above (second photo) I once spent a whole day trying to tighten the clamps properly, as they were compressed during transport, the angle of the inlet hose was NOT at the right angle and had to be bent into position to meet the top hose and airbox (which it doesn't) after the other hoses and airbox were connected for a test fit because the hose was damaged during shipping kinked and poorly packaged The hose is made of soft rubber and "fits" but the handling of soft rubber and the prob It takes training for the soft rubber to adapt to the sample in which it is stored for a period of time. Tip, put it in the same bag, put it in a big box and ship it. Stop squeezing as much product into the smallest possible container.

Pros
  • Compatible with BMW 325Ci 325i 330Ci 330i 330Xi Z3.
Cons
