And where does it go? #4 in the pic. I input my VIN on realoem so if it's showing it should go to my car, but I can't for the life of me figure out how that incorporates into my alternator cooling apparatus. '89 535im m30 motor. Any thoughts? Thanks!

My #4 has been broken from #5 for the entire time I've had the car. Meh.

You mean for a different car? It doesn't seem that it would fit (it's angled differently).

different year, or model 735? maybe.

You'll see stuff crossed in the ETK, especially when you search part #

On my car, 525i, I have a 4, not a 1/3 combination.

Would say 1/3 are for the M30, and a 4 for the M50.

Okay, that makes sense. Interesting though, since usually if you search parts by using the last 6 of your VIN, it will only list parts that pertain to that particular car.
