While installing an EOS intake manifold, one of the DME wiring harnesses wouldn't fully release so I ended up "helping it along". As a result the part which holds the harness into the DME socket needs to be replaced.

The harness uses cams to snug the connector into the socket, released with a lever. One of the cams is broken off from the lever.

Any pointers as to where a guy might find part which secures the harness connection to the DME socket? A local indy shop (ex-BMW tech) suggested that the N55 uses the same harness.

I was able to get the required part from a somewhat local BMW dealership. It turned out that I had the first 2 plugs, from the left, swapped. Plug 2 went into socket 1 as if it was supposed to, plug 1 wouldn't do the same into socket 2. Note to self - take pictures of everything next time.
