Hi y'all -
Looking for the rubber elbow air hose that runs from the Idle Control Valve up to the Air Intake Boot plastic barb fitting, BMW #1163-1276-820. Pelican Parts says it's NLA, I could rig something up, but would prefer the proper part. Looks like one side is 18mm ID, the other 22mm ID. Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried Ebay/Google already w/o much luck.....
TIA

You will not find this hose from BMW, but most of these things are generic so if you can determine the angle and ID, then look around. I found some exact matches to old BMW hoses on Rock Auto of all places.

Thanks Rob! Exploring that possibility, as well as used parts......
So buy the 22mm and on the 18 side put a small piece of clear plastic tubing, to take up the small excess, which will not be seen and you should be good. Check a NAPA store. They have all kinds of neat stuff and should? be able to come up with something that has a 90 in it

not good news, but I can defintely say even factory hoses are cracking within one year of installation. Hopefully you will find a better quality replacement
