Sorry to keep bumping this.

So i ordered the parts listed in the 2nd post of this thread:
18307581970 - gasket
18307606136 - upper clamp
18307620349 - lower clamp

getbmwparts.com "VIN Corrected" my order and sent me:
18307553601 - gasket
11657620508 - upper clamp
18307620349 - lower clamp

I tried to fit the upper clamp around the 4" CTS Turbo Downpipe i have sitting here and there's absolutely no way it will close. I'm trying to avoid getting under my car b/c I assume that's the only way to see the wastegate for sure and tell if i have PWG or EWG?

My car is 100% a 2014.
I just looked at the sticker in between the driver side doors and my mfg date is 3/14. That means I have the EWG, correct??
VIN: WBA3B9G55ENR92091

Can anybody tell me which upper clamp is bigger?
18307606136
or
11657620508

getbmwparts did reply saying "the parts we updated your order to include are the only correct replacements for your vehicle per your VIN according to BMW". We don’t have any more of either of these clamps in stock or I would provide measurements for you. BMW also doesn’t list the sizes for these in the catalog

So I ask for someone smarter than me who has been through this before if you can please weigh in. Thank you tons in advance!
