Hi guys, newbie here. Currently rebuilding a 325i Saloon, I need to source the metal tube that houses the tank breather pipes from under the rear seat to the rear wheel arch. They are NLA from the dealer I believe, anyone had any look finding one? Thanks

Hi Mark,
Was yours rusted inside?
Im having issues removing the hose inside this tube.. So just wanted to know if the reason could be rust has grown in around the hose..

Mine is not as bad , but still very poor inside.
You may have better luck on the wanted / parts section :)
God luck in any case, and welcome to the Zone ;)
