Need help with removing charge pipe?
I've taken IC and intake out. I've tried bottom and top, but nothing worked :'(
I just can't get it out (( I've watched videos and read threads, but still. Anything I can detach under the hood to create more space to get this broken piece of sh** out?? Any cutting instruction ? Lol |

Did you remove the sensor from the CP after disconnecting the wiring harness?
If not, try that it - makes it easier to pull thru all the obstacles & saves possible damage to the sensor I pulled mine out from the bottom on my 435ix with a little fiddling/twisting with car only up on ramps in front

#raichean put together a very nice CP install video. Did you watch that one? During the filming, we determined that it's best if you remove from the top while slightly rotating it to help the curved bottom section "snake" out.

I know this has already probably been double-checked, but are you sure the bottom clamp is fully released? can you get any lateral twist or is it total immovable?

I was able to pull mine out of the top on my 335xi, no way was it coming out the bottom. I could not twist it 180 degrees, more like something less than 90 degrees. It is plastic and it will bend somewhat. I just kept pulling and twisting back and forth as much as it would allow and I finally was able to pull it free.

You just have to watch it as you pull it out, rotate it accordingly to make sure it isn't pressing hard on anything that could break.

Mine came out the top pretty easy--I just slowly wiggled it and made sure not to smack into anything. Kind of like the game of Operation.
