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.

No way Dave you're getting rid of it?

The CCV is a bear the first time, luckily I actually have small hands so its somewhat manageable. After all was said and done, and replacing the dipstick guide tube with the newer cold weather version, I was approx the same amount of time start to finish.

Sorry to see it go, but I guess the new owner would be happy you did the maintenance. Anything replacing it or are you just sick of the X?
