It is hard to imagine a way for an intake boot to develop a 'hole', just spontaneously. That must be why they wanted to confim. Or maybe they are lying.

If it was a crack at a flex location, maybe due to a thin molding process, they will approve it. Someone drilling a 1/2" hole might be another story. The other way they get damaged is being abused when taking it off or putting it on for repairs.

Good luck on the replacement... did you know that BMW doesn't know about this newfangled thing called "Next Day Air"?

Seriously, they are idiots when it comes to parts delivery.
