Otto makes it look easy. It's not. I've got about ten hours in the job. DIY Video – Replacing the BMW M54 Crankcase Ventilation System, PCV, Oil Separator, Cyclonic Valve | Bavarian Autosport Blog

In other news, the X5's new owner should be here tomorrow to take it home.
It's a fun job the first time you do it huh? At the shop I worked at guys were doing it in a couple of hours without taking off the intake manifold. I was like nope, no thanks... took the intake manifold off and did it in about 5 hours. I have big hands though and for my sanity was glad I did it the way I did.
