I have searched the realOEM for an hour and can't find the part number for the exhaust vanos solenoid wire clip. Mine broke when I replaced the Throttle Actuator. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hard to find that part. You may have luck going to dealer.

Otherwise, this is the closest bet. You’ll have to measure accordingly:

I have found the part# 12517831757 . BMW's illustration doesn't look like the actual clip.

Just went through this. I believe it only comes with the alternator wiring harness part number 12517838512.

The part I found is not the same clip but close enough (little bigger) and dealer had to order it from Germany!

Ahh ok. Your post today made me understand that the wrong clip was ordered with that part number. Thanks for clarifying.
