Need help finding a plastic piece in engine bay

Hi every one,

So I've been trying to figure out what the part number for a plastic piece in the engine bay was. It's been driving me crazy. Countless diagrams from different parts site and still can't find it. Maybe someone has replace theirs too, as mine has broken. Looking at the diagram its right under where #9 is. It looks like a hood stopper but I don't think its used that way. Someone please help get the part number. Even though it will not affect the cars performance it bugs me when pieces are missing or broken. Kudos to someone that finds it.

If you mean the hole shown directly under the (9) balloon on the front upper crossmember - could be the stud, that goes into the crossmember, that accepts the grommet from the air intake - #6 in following diagram link:

Only thing I can think of that could not be there that would leave a hole

Of course, if you're still running the factory intake system - it should be there...

I have mine removed because I'm running the Dinan CAI which doesn't use that attachment point

Not the mount for the intake that's number 26. It's slightly to the front of that. The bigger hole that is center I guess if you look at the front of the car and see the engine bay it looks like a stopper in the center when the hood goes down and it's forward of the intake mount.

That hole is where parts 4 & 6 go to hold the air intake tube. See http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=13_1499
