They might be willing to sell the o-ring separately for $20.

Thanks I emailed them.

Failing that, get some decent measurements of the groove (dia and width), and the housing (dia), and you should be able to figure what size you need...

not that simple other o rings even though they look good in there they still boost leak it has to be bmws

I bet you a cup of tea at my place that the o-ring supplied by FTP will be a generic item. Good luck with it

As another option, try this one: 11618506782
It is for a F20/F30 but the turbos are identical. The ID of the seal should be the same but the OD may be different because the inlet coupler changed between the models. The seal is a V shaped directional seal. Lube it up generously with silicone spray, pinch it down like a heart shape and then massage it into the groove. You want the opening of the V to face the direction of airflow. It is normal to need to massage this type of seal into the groove (they don't just slide or pop in).

If it works then report back for the benefit of others
