I have mine scheduled to be done by my indie next week.

My '04 has 180lk on the clock, original CCV. Light vacuum when the oil filler cap is removed, oil consumption is variable at 800 - 1000 per quart ( I sure hope that gets better!) and there is a subtle ringing "tambourine" like sound emanating from the engine bay I associate with the CCV. I have the OE BMW cold weather parts for this, but no time or inclination to do it myself. Not looking forward to the bill either, but well, it does need to be done.
