Hi guys, I was just wondering if anybody knows what this part is and where I could get one (UK) long story short I had a bump with a curb and snapped the wishbone and blew the bag, both of them have been replaced now but this part snapped. I’ve been told it holds the bottom of the bag to the hub? But I have no idea what it is called. Thank you. Car is a 09 plate BMW e61 530d M sport.

 

Is it not just part of the actual air bag? I'm thinking part number 1 in https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=33_1223

 

I’ve bought a new bag and that part isn’t attached, do you know if there is a part number for it or what it’s called, I’ve been told it a retainer clip but I think that is too small?

 

I don’t see any separate part in the diagram that I linked to but I could have missed something. Have you looked at photos of the bag on sites like FCP or ECS Tuning to see if they include it or not?

 

Unfortunately I can’t seem to find anything on them sites. The part bmw has ordered arrives in a couple of days so hopefully it’s the right thing, or maybe someone else will know at the garage.

 

If you know the part number you can search it on realoem and it will show you which parts diagrams it is part of

 

Already checked for a number on it but can’t seem to see one unless it was on the part that has broken, I’ll have a look at what part comes from bmw and then have another look around and maybe look at another air bag

 

It looks like it is part of the air spring - check out these aftermarket photos: https://ebay.us/5Z83dY
