Wondering if anyone might have an intake tube for M60 (530)
The bellows on mine have cracked and unmetered air has been entering the engine causing poor performance and drivability. The MAF is fine and I have temporarily repaired the damage with duct tape but fear it will not take the temperatures well.

Thanks,
Derek

I've been ordering stuff from autohausaz. Reasonable prices and free shipping over $50. The duct tape should last until you get the new one.

Duct tape fixes all lol, apparently not just smashed car bodywork :P

i paid $38 from www.bmaparts.com for this. It's a cheap mod for the E39 540 :)

got one from a yard and it was crap. to be expected from a 13yr old part i guess.
called BMA and they are sending one out today. almost wish i called autohaus first because of the steep price $60+ but its new and I won't have to worry about it failing on the wife again. She is more particular about the damn car than me. next up is the thrust arms, cant believe she actually notices the bushing flex and camber change. Still cant explain it worth a damn but thats ok. Definitely a keeper, oh yeah the wife too.
