Hello,
I am in the process of replacing my cracked oem chargepipe with an Evolution Racewerks CP. Unfortunately, when it cracked, the c clip and o ring were dislodged. I cannot find them. Does anybody know where i can buy just the c clip for an F30? Thanks. I was able to order the o ring but I cannot order the c clip from BMW

Just got back from 3 trips to the clueless BMW$tealership. They had no idea what a charge pipe even was. I Literally brought the old cracked cp in and not one service rep, part rep, or mechanic i talked to had any idea what it was. Anyways, they would have covered my part under warranty. A whole brand new charge pipe that would have the New c clips on it for $300 under warranty. HOWEVER, THE WORTHLESS SACKS OF SHIT WOULDNT GIVE ME THE PART. My car is currently holed up on a lift. I just took the old intercooler and old Chargepipe out and have both spankin new ones installed. Just waiting on that one c clip and im good to go. I thought "ok, it doesnt matter if they order a whole new cp" its under warranty after all. However, the idiots told me they wouldnt cover the new cp unless they could install it. They wouldnt just hand me the part so i could fix it. Instead they would only uninstall both my brand new parts, put the new oem ones in, and make me have to uninstall the oem and reinstall the aftermarket parts again. Totally fucking ridiculous. Anyways, ER just started making the clips at http://www.evolutionracewerks.com/node/287 im just posting this so anyone else with the same problem can see just what sort of idiocracy i am dealing with.

damn - 25 bucks for a formed metal wire. Guess it's better than a couple hundred dollars buying the complete CP.

We have them available (and you don't need to buy the charge pipe)
