What's this? Hose running across alternator and down behind the OFH

[Almuliman]

I was a little ... forceful, when shifting things around to get my hands into some tight spaces today and snapped this bracket off its base (you can just about see the flat bit of metal where it snaps in when the base is on):



Anybody know what that line is, so I can find the bracket on RealOEM and get a new one?

Is that just the Christmas tree portion of a plastic zip tie? I have a strange recollection of doing the exact same thing.

You can buy stud mounted zip-ties and save yourself some money and hassle, just make sure to get the right size for the hole it goes into.

Otherwise I'd say you can probably find that part on real-oem dot com.

It's the vacuum line for the power brakes. The clip is Item 11, P/N 61138380213 https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=34_1556, .

Thank you! I could swear I pored over that diagram on RealOEM.
