Plastic ties does a better job. As I stated, the plastic ties works for me so far and hasn't broke off. It's probably out last the plastic pieces that comes with the regulator.
tcn2K maybe you should have posted those picture on x5 world then maybe i would have understood what you were talking about when you said to use ties. Its not that maronha knows jack about plastic ties its just maronha had never seen what you were talking about after doing a search on this site. My search never retuned a how to on plastic ties TO REPAIR A REGULATOR. maye you should take your fix to BMW corp. maybe they will instal the ties at the factory or atleast make it an option.

Look next time one breaks i will be sure to use plasic ties OK!
