I can't see a sim holder, so probably not that.

Looks more like the schmoogle.

Maybe to the untrained eye. Looks to me like the quadratic swing balancer

Serious answers please.

Carl, if it helps, I've just checked and mine does not have that feature.

Looks like some kind of bracket to hold some pipes/hoses perhaps

On a serious note it is the mounting bracket for the twin intercooler.

Yours doesn't appear to have it Carl.

Your car could be a 'parts bin special' when they ran out of the twin 'coolers on the production line.

I reckon this is what might have happened here.

My car was spec'd and ordered normally mate, not a demo or bmw car?!

So what exactly do you mean?

Carrera RSR · 08-11-2009, 02:02 PM

What ever it was it looks like it isn't attached there anymore. Has it been nicked? Have you reported your loss to the Police? Are you insured?
