Product Description

This Arrowhead hose breather intake is designed for BMW engines, serving as a vital component in the breather engine system. It connects the intake system to the engine's breather assembly, helping to manage crankcase vapours and maintain proper airflow. The hose features a flexible, corrugated design with locking end fittings and an angled elbow connector for a secure, leak-resistant fit.

Compatible with selected BMW models, this breather hose is commonly found on engines such as the M52 and M54, including models like the E46, E39, E60, E38, E53, E85, and Z3. Always verify your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.

A failing or damaged breather hose can lead to several symptoms, including rough idling, increased oil consumption, oil leaks, and poor engine performance. You may also notice a check engine light or a hissing noise from the engine bay if the hose is cracked or disconnected.

Replace the breather hose if you observe visible cracks, brittleness, oil residue around the connections, or any of the symptoms listed. Regular inspection and timely replacement help prevent unfiltered air and oil vapours from entering the intake system, protecting engine efficiency and longevity.

Order your Arrowhead hose breather intake from MiMi Auto Parts for reliable nationwide delivery across South Africa. Our team is here to help you find the right part for your BMW and answer any fitment questions you may have.
