I was changing out my alternator today and came across an issue when pulling off a water hose. The plastic in the end going to the block was rotten. I pulled it out and my car sits in the garage another day. I was wondering if this part was replaceable or if it only comes with the hose and if I can buy it separately what's it called? It's basically the metal piece smack in the middle of 7, 8 and 9 that's got 2 holes for torx can't find a name or part number anywhere [IMG][/IMG]

There's aftermarket adapters, I used this one. Cut off the plastic from the hose, just make sure you don't cut too much so the hose can sit properly on the adapter.

Thanks I ordered the part and it'll be here tomorrow, pretty stupid of bmw to use plastic considering the pressure and heat in these hoses.

I just did this swap yesterday and posted a DIY for it in the DIY section.
