Intercooler outlet C clip **PLEASE HELP**

So I'm almost done with demodding my 135, but need this clip to finish. It's the c clip that holds the chargepipe to the intercoolers outlet side. Can someone sell me theirs that they have sitting around? BMW does not sell it by itself. I'll even sell you my helix intercooler for a discounted price if you'd like?

I can probably hook you up. I have a spare since my new IC doesn't use the factory couplers and I have no plans to go back to stock. PM sent.

If it's the one I'm thinking, you're not going to get anything from the hardware store that will fit correctly and lock in place well.

Is it the same C-Clip that couples the upper charge piping with the TB? I seem to recall them being the same diameter...but I did intercooler a long time ago so don't remember.

Unfortunately the TB clip is much larger than either of the I/C clips. I'm pretty sure you can special ordered the clip through a dealer. They probably have several just lying around the service department.

Here's the update.... Supposedly BMW has it on order for me Monday. If its the wrong clip, I'll hit everyone up. Funny how the other day it couldn't be ordered separately. Thanks though and I'll keep everyone updated!
