10 Pcs per bag, recommend that you get 2 bags, I do not remember the cost but they weren't too expensive, considering they are a BMW part, and that I needed then NOW!

I also got them from OutMotoring once I had the time to order them and wait for their arrival, they sell them for $1.35 each.
Here is a link:
There is a second option, if you remove the fender liner you can access the clips, pinch them closed, push them out and then re-use them, but it may be that you'll break some anyway. I just found it faster, (yeah, yeah I did make a trip to the dealer, but they're only 30 minutes away, it was a beautiful day and I needed the break!!

Good luck, whichever route you decide on.

Okay that's nearer to my Aunt's house in Hoffman Estates. I'm on the south side, I'm about 3 minutes from I-294 and 95th St... Maybe we can get some Chicago-area people to get together. I'm always down to cruise, shoot me a PM sometime.

) and easier to pop the fenders off.

Advantage is freer flow of air on both sides. I found it all went much easier since the front of the car was on ramps, jack stands would work just as well.
Did both tubes as well as installing the M7 piece for the H2O temp sensor at the same time.

As usual costs will vary depending on which tubes you opt for. MINI MADNESS makes a short section of metal pipe to install in the HOT side OEM tube, it eliminates the "muffler" section, that will save you some bucks. HERE IS A LINK

Attention: Important Group Buy Information from Helix
Wow! what a response. With pre-orders and a couple of large wholesale orders, we're oversold! As we said in the OP, we're going to deliver the coolers immediately at the end of the group buy, on March 1. Because of a run on Helix intercoolers, we're going to have to scramble and make more. Those of you who had deposits in before this weekend (the first 20) will get delivery as scheduled.
If your deposit has already been processed, you will be receiving one of the 20 we have at the 30 intercooler rate: with free shipping at the extra special price of $579 instead of $599. We will also honor this special price for any orders that we receive between now and March 1st, but delivery will not be immediate. We have placed the core order, and have told our welder to prime and pump his machine so we can have them really soon.
Don't let this stop you from placing a deposit for the $579 price though. Once the group buy is over on March 1st, the price will go back up to $749. So, if you don't mind waiting a few extra weeks, the deal can still be had.
