powersteering pump brackets

[mattr135i]

i'm not sure if anyone else has ever went through this before, my front mounting bracket for my power steering pump on my 08 135i literally snapped, I've been having trouble finding the part number and also the replacement bolts for mounting both front and back brackets to the engine. i've never heard of this happening before lmao, I would honestly just reuse & put blue loctite on the bolts but one is missing and I would rather replace them all than just one

edit: I just realized that half of my rear bolt to mount (on the oil pan?) is broken inside the hole so i'll have to tap that out aswell

be a good idea to at minimum check motor mounts for excessive play. maybe better to just replace them.

I've read up that those bolts are known to back themselves out due to engine vibrations, my 135i production date is 10/08 i believe (after they fixed the subframe issue). I think what happened is one of the bolt came out because I only have two out of the three original and maybe the belt tension was too much & that's what broke the bracket, there were no bumps or potholes present to make the motor bounce or move absurdly at the time it happened. also do you know a part number on the bracket by any chance?
