    2011 335I Charge pipe replacement

    I was traveling and went to pass a car & stepped hard on the gas. As it accelerated, it made a sudden noise & hesitated. I backed off and it seemed to hold speed but I knew something was not right. I pulled over & opened the hood & the charpe pipe connection towards the back was loose. I started back home & the warning lights came on as it started slowing. I looked again & the part of the end was actually gone & there was a large opening.
    I need to replace the charge pipe but should I replace with OEM plastic or after market aluminum?

    I'm not sure what the aluminum pipes cost, but the OEM ones aren't cheap. I would personally like the upgrade, but it may take a few days to get one. Most dealerships probably have the OEM one in stock. Depends on if you have something else to drive or not.

    Can't beat that price! The OEM pipe is way more than that.

    Correct and the stock one is plastic which will break again.
