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.
