Yeah that’s exactly where it is mate, except my car is leaking a bit less than that and its more of a localised leak than spreading.
The thing is BMW say that the new pipe has a shroud or corrugated sleeve on it to protect it from this chaffing. Mine already has this modified pipe (probably sorted by the previous owner in the past) but it still appears to be leaking from here.
Did they only change your breather pipe on yours or did they do anything else to sort it?
I only suspect this pipe as this is the only pipe that is on that side – hope its not coming from the fuel tank itself. I’m going to give it to my local indy garage as BMW will probably charge silly money for doing this. It is under third party warranty now and I know it clearly says it won’t cover pipes / hoses e.t.c.
Been quoted £145 to sort this inc genuine new pipe as it requires dropping the tank – does this sound right?
