Jason's right but you'll see there are three different types listed on Realoem so it's important to get the right one. The differences are to do with the number and position of the little idle valve connection tubes. When I rebuilt my 325 engine last year I found out the hard way and it took me two or three goes to find the right one and IIRC one type is no longer available from BMW as they are one of the very few parts now discontinued.

I think I still have the boots that were wrong for my engine so post up a picture of yours and I'll see if I've got one to match.
I'll see if I can find them next time I'm down at my lockup and see what I've got.
