128i - harness above engine, plastic clip mounts
Somehow, the three mounts that hold the wiring harness (above the motor) in place have broken, see pictures. What do I need to do to fix this? Plastic gets brittle w heat

I don't know for sure without seeing it in person or looking at my car and I'm a bit too lazy to do that rn.
I think you either need 12527532268 or 12527534161. I could be wrong, double check realoem diagrams (i found these under Engine Electrical System).

I think this might be the lower part of the cabin microfilter compartment, part #2 on this page: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=64_1428
I also have the driver's side tabs broken off, and the center is not held up very solidly, either. A fragile part that isn't inexpensive. Good luck.

Thanks, I’ll do more research and report back
This could be a job for the all-powerful “zip tie” in matte black |

I've been thinking maybe a drill and some push-pin rivets like the trunk linings use?

My cabin air filter cover tabs were very brittle and I snapped both front tabs off when I tightened them down one time. A replacement cover wasn't too expensive. As mkeiser said, you probably just need the perch which is only around $30. Considering you need to pull that harness almost any time you do something under the hood, I would fix it properly.

No, it looks like they should - but look about 3/4" to the right of your arrows and you'll see where they are supposed to slide/clip in to the little box shaped pieces (the left hand box is broken / bottom broken off)

@Donkeyshins Yes, I ordered one yesterday from Dealership using CCA discount 85$ - painful, because I know I didn't break them

Yeah, they just weren't designed to last more than 10 years given the heat soak from the engine. At least it is exponentially easier to replace than the partially-soy-based-insulated wiring in E46 LCI headlights, just spendy.
