Mystery screw
I have this left over from my water pump/thermostat and oil filter housing gasket replacement jobs on a 2011 135i (N55).
Can anyone suggest where this screw goes? It's about 30mm long, 10mm hex drive. I originally thought this was the screw that secured the fan to the radiator, but I now believe that's not the case. I had a third screw that matched the inter-cooler screws that I believe is the correct one for the fan. Last edited by moorer11; 11-11-2019 at 04:35 PM.. Reason: clarifications |

That looks like a typical Body Panel screw, maybe from your underbody tray?

Looks like the screw that holds the intake pipe to the valve cover near cylinder 1 spark plug, and beside the blow by heater.
Can see it in this pic. |

I agree with mighty mouse ^. I don't think the threads look the same as the standard underbody screws.

Threads are to far apart and to long to be underbody. I believe mightmouse is right that it's the screw that mounts part of the intake. But I don't remember tampering with this for thermostat/water pump or OFHG.

Splash guard screws have an integrated washer and are shorter.
