For HVAC blower motors and FSRs, which brands are people using? I thought we had a thread somewhere with OE/OEM/Genuine parts listed out and what to avoid; maybe that was old M3F??

I ordered an OE blower online from a dealer (might have been getbmwparts.com?). I have a Hella/Mahle "OEM" FSR on-hand just in case the generic made in China one I installed in an emergency decides to die.

Seems the German made REIN FSRs are GTG. Genuine for the blower seems the best due to erratic fitment issues w/other brands.

And I've used a few ounces of Marvel Mystery oil in my 330 when the fuel pump making strange noises. It was pretty loud (it only had 30k miles on it). Surprisingly, after 1 tank with MMO, the fuel pump sounds normal again and haven't returned after 1000 miles or so. Coincidence? Possibly.
YMMV.

What is the smaller pipe that sticks out of the gas filler neck? Like, what is its purpose? Evap or something like that? I cracked the red plastic attachment while disconnecting the filler neck and I'm thinking JB-Weld unless this could cause safety hazards... so that's why I'm asking. What would happen if this leaked? Fire hazard or gas smell?
