underneath radiator cover part#?

[maherbaz]

awesome, thanks, I ordered it.

not to mention it is the exact same part# and piece that was on there before i replaced it; old one was cracked up & broken something fierce!

I purchased a radiator air duct as shown above, but I cannot figure out how it was intended to mount. I have the MTech front bumper and I assumed that it would mount between the two under bumper end pieces like in an M3.
I cannot see any mounting points on the car that correspond to the two drilled holes on either end of the air duct.

A picture of the piece installed or a good description of the mounting would be appreciated.

Thanks

I need to find a piece that goes under there too. I ripped up some M-Tech bumper stuff in deep snow, and recovered a broken piece. I bought a new one, but I could not figure out how it attaches, so I figure I lost something else. Here's my post (one post down) that I put on the E36 M3 boards on bf.c.... Can you figure it out??

This winter I ripped off/broke a piece of shrouding from my front end (M3 bumper). It was a lower radiator shrouding. Part #17112227690

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...93&hg=17&fg=05. Part #14

I just got a new one and tried to install it but could not figure it out. I think I'm missing another piece. From these pictures can you guys tell if I'm missing part #51712250643. It part number #14 in this diagram.

There are obviously some slots that are sitting open. If that's it, I guess I ripped that off too but never saw it sitting on the ground

Thanks!!!

search me. i've wondered a long time wtf is supposed to be there. it could be these things; Air Duct Panel Cover (only used with 51-71-2-250-643-M9 Air Duct Panel), E36 M3 B30/B32 & Air Duct Panel, Front Lower for Radiator, E36 M3 B30/B32 http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/cata...pg7.htm#item38 but it doesn't seem worth it to me.
if you get them, post how it looks.

^ Thats the part I bought, and it defintiely wont fit without some other part. And I'm pretty sure that other part is 51-71-2-250-643-M9 for $86.50

Hmmm, I've searched realoem a bunch and thats the only part I've figured it is. What I need to do is find an E36 M3 in a parking lot or dealer and look at it in person. Hopefully the owner won't catch me on my hands and knee in front of their car

i've also wondered about the fender/wheel transitions too, the notched pieces in your pic that look like something is supposed to attach to in the middle, because there are "M bumper" pieces for there which are also different from what we have. bavauto has a good example of both in their aerodynamics or exterior parts section.....

Those slots stay open. Part #15 in your second link is the lowest piece of plastic on your car, and it appears to be in place in your pictures. Not sure how you could have ripped off something above that, without taking out anything below.

This part on my car fell off a while ago also, and it seems to have broken the 2 other pieces that hold it on. I have found all the parts, but I could really use some help on how to put the 2 large vertical pieces in. There are all sorts of hoses running through them and I don't want to have to remove my bumper to get the new ones in (or the old ones out). I appreciate any assistance.

Here's a couple pics of the part that ripped off my car (see my posts above). #17 11 2 227 690. I have no clue where it came off of, or how to reattach it!! This is a brand new one, as the old one was ripped up.

Funny, mine just fell off too.

Because I upgraded to cold air intake I need to replace these plastic pieces as well; I don't want any water flowing into my air filter.

^ Mine's still sitting in my closet....I have yet to figure out where it attaches to. I tried a couple times, then gave up. It can't be too important anyways
