Has anyone here changed the intake boot on his/her E30 ?
I have a crack on it, so I’m looking to replace it. Should I try doing it myself, or safely (and surely expensively) bring it the the mechanics ?

I did it to mine years ago. Its very easy since the new boot is new rubber and very flexible. Do it yourself.
That’s what I thought, thanks. Why didn’t you go for a silicone one ?
You mean the silicone hose? Piece of cake. DIY the sucker
Thanks for the feedback, I’m looking for it online now
You could duct tape it in the mean time… It actually works if done right. Temporary solution tho :)
I have done similar fix yesterday on my M54, the part was CCV return hose (breather tube, Entlüftungsrohr).
I ordered the part, in the mean time I pulled it out (after the air filter, unscrewed Servo fluid container, pulled a few sensor wires, got a few scratches) and ductaped the sheet out of it :D
Did today 150km (100miles), no probs.
If you have any idea how to use a ratchet and a screwdriver, do it yourself (DIY) ;)
The above was the first time I did anything under a car bonnet, until now I only fixed my bicycle, but I like to say I am a handy person. ;)
Nice, thanks for the feedback!
Can’t be very hard to replace :p DIY!
