N54 chargepipe installation

The O-Ring is attainable at the dealer. The C clip is part of the charge pipe part number so the dealer wants you to buy a charge pipe to get the C clip. That is why these are not included as it would raise the cost exponentially.

Perhaps one of the vendor BMW dealers should offer the C clip for a small fee, I know it would help a few people out.

I tried to make some arrangements a few months back but BMW won't sell the part separately so the only way a dealer can get a hold of it is part of the charge pipe. The C-clip itself does not even have a BMW part number to it, so in reality it does not exist as a part in the BMW system. Just comes as part of the stock charge pipe.

The O-ring is Part# 13717568031 (if anybody is curious) #26 in the schematic

I swap mine out in 15 mins, maybe less. If you have your cowl and factory bx, add about 25 mins.

5 and 6 the ones that tend to crack? Will replace those two first and see what happens.

Replace as much of it as you can.

The "O-ring" of the chargepipe is the same part as the "O-ring" you recieve with BMW/MANN oil filters.

I made a video on installing the chargepipe for OEM diverter valves or OEM style divirter valves if anyone's interested. The process is very similar if you have a blow off valve.
