This is a genuine BMW suction pipe, part number 34 30 1 161 819. The number stamped on the part is 34301161819; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1161819. You will find it on our Brakes shelf, under Handbrake lever. It supersedes the older number 1161053, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits the E36 sedan, coupe, convertible and touring (318i, 320i, 325i and 328i, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 2 diagrams, among them Brake Pipe Front ABS (34_0488) and Brake Pipe Front ABS/ASC+T (34_0533). It weighs about 379 g (0.8 lb).
