I was going to order from Tischer Bmw online but my local dealer gave me the same discount so I went and picked them up today in person. The new ones look more sturdy. Price $160 out of the door.

Hey bud, it's funny because I had seen your video right after I washed the engine last week and did not notice anything. Then Friday morning I did plugs/coils and that's when I saw them. They were all broken but the rubber strip was holding them in place perfect hence I could not notice them. I believe the new ones are redesigned because they seemed stronger than the flimsy ones I took out. Hopefully they will last :) Believe it or not, the hardest part of the job was putting those two little rivets in place. The ones they go one on each side. Had to spray the pins with some wd40 to slide them back in place. Overall a simple job.
Thank you again for the detailed video :thumbup:

I just noticed mine yesterday when I was adding my usual mid-oil change quart of oil and some washer fluid. Hopefully Ill be able to do it next week. We are going to be experiencing heavy rain for the next couple of days here in Illinois. I used some gorilla tape to seal everything up in the meantime.
