ECS shows the BMW branded 26117605629 as NO LONGER AVAILABLE, but they offer a Febi Bilstein branded metal guibo under the exact same BMW part number (ECS part# ES#3177877).
FCPEuro would appear to still have the BMW branded version in stock.

Here's another link as well that confirms it's part# 26117605629

Interesting, I wonder why. I purchased mine for my 09/10 build date last fall and installed it when I did my Quaife and Turner RSFB's. Definitely seemed a solid upgrade and no NVH resulted. |
Thanks for verifying - do you happen to remember the part number for the longer bolts I am being told are required when replacing the rubber guibo with the metal version? I can't find this anywhere... |
I ordered the latest PN on real OEM and checked with Tischer BMW and there's no mention of a superseded PN for the bolts and nuts at the Guibo attachment location. The thickness of the two units is identical. There's only one set of bolt / nuts for this use on all 335is years so they must not have changed at least during that time period. I can look them up again if that would help but they weren't different. |
Thank you I appreciate it. I was thrown off because a reply on another thread seemed to state that the metal guibo required longer bolts, but this must be incorrect.
