Well long story short guys. my passenger rear wheel popped and it broke a filter or canister of some kind that was behind that wheel. If you guys can help me find the part number or something for this it would help alot. It is making me have a chech engine light, the code says that i have a small leak in my evap. system. any idea what this is would be helpful. thank you.

[xplicitstylez]

no i dont even have a picture of it because it broke off on the highway and i dont even know what it looks like.

got a picture of the area where it belongs?

there are a lot of diagrams for the e90.. the more specific you are the easier it is for us to help find the part.

honestly when i look behind the wheel its just a broken piece of plastic. it connects to a rubber hose. thats all i know right now.

battery drain hose? or some type of water drain?

[xplicitstylez]

i think its a canister with a filter inside of it

its the carbon canister for the gas fumes

i dont know man, you seen it, we havent seen pics, is that what it looks like in person? i know the number 1 is pretty large black plastic, its about the size of a small shoe box

i have never seen this part before. when the tire popped it was on the highway. i drove all the way home then realized it broke. so i have never seen the part before.

ah ok, it maybe number 1 bro, i'm not sure i know on a 335 that number one is on the drivers side, but i know the 330's have funky trunk boxes and storage, and i'm not AS familiar with the fuel setup

[xplicitstylez]

no number 1 is hidden by the fender lining. a tube comes out and a canister of some sort is bolted up right the strut of the passenger side rear wheel.

[Kevin@AKMotorwerk]

the only thing i've seen inside the wheel well that was not covered by the fender liner was the fill tube going from the cap to the tank, but i really wasnt looking for much else honestly, we'd need a pic to narrow it down for you.

[xplicitstylez]

im trying to look on the forums for a pic. its going to be hard. but when i find one i will post it up. but look at part number 11 on the link you posted just now. where do you think that goes?

+1 it's the carbon canister.

What code is beig thrown? If it's P0442, 2A15, or 2A16 it could just be a hose. Or orings.

Post a picture up.

Also you'll probably need new fender liners as well. That whole EVAP system is pretty much covered and should not have been affect by a tire blow out unless it also took off the fender liner. The only hoses goingto the canister that is exposed are the ones wrapped around the rear subframe.
