However, I can for the M42. I was wondering if it was the same part on both the engines and I could just order one for an M42 and it'd work. Thanks a lot. | | | 09-20-2005, 04:45 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: San Francisco Posts: 308 | The main difference as far as I know is that some m44's have asc+T, which means 2 bellows. This is a case of having to call the dealer or web part site for more info. Have your VIN# handy, they can reference alot of info with it. | | | 09-20-2005, 05:21 PM | #3 | doesn't care about you.

I would use duct tape, but I previously patched up some other deterioration on it with some 5200 so I just figure I should replace the whole thing now, haha. __________________ '96 318ti Base - few mods installed... | | | 09-21-2005, 03:05 AM | #5 | doesn't care about you.

That should help you out. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 09-21-2005, 05:42 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: San Francisco Posts: 308 | Oops I just remembered, the great thing about BMWs is that they usually have the part #'s on all the parts, so see if you can find the # on the bellows and.......voila! | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
