BMW should definitely up their game when it comes to plastic around the engine bay.

Great stuff guys, thanks for the links! Does anyone know if I could wrap the new hose in heat tape to prevent it from turning to dust again?

Correction: I'll pick this one up from ECS tuning... its wrapped in rubber.

This is cool, I just got the regular replacement from the dealership!
I would also like to know what can I warp it with to prevent cracking in the future?

I am using HVAC tape temporarily till my new hose comes in the mail. I'd use heat tape if I were taping it. On another note, my local dealer suggested I also replace the the entire vent piece at around $340 for that part. I'll hold off on this entire piece till it follows suite and breaks.

I got it to my dealer instead of purchasing that part via ecs tuning and got it all done for the low price of $50 (Extended warranty deductible). Also, my mpg went from 9 to 11.1 and I now have a misfire on cylinder 5. Most likely a bad spark plug, but must be related to this crankshaft vent hose. Both the hose and corroded spark plugs would explain my earlier concerns when I had the maintenance coverage still lol. My next assumption is that my spark plug/s and/or coil/s will be under an extended warranty since they are giving off errors and I have not reached my 60k maintenance cycle?
