I think that the biggest note is that there are a lot of different ways that people are hooking up the air distribution rail from the manifold to the valve cover outlet.
The absolute easiest way is to use this piece: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...se-11617504535
I did that, but honestly, I hate it. You end up needing to use TWO vacuum caps, which adds a very real source of future leaks, and the one by the 90 ends up very visible.
Beyond that, I like these for caps:

Kind of ugly, but way more durable than the usual shitty rubber caps. You'll need one in 3/8 or 10mm for the dipstick no matter what - and that will be out of sight.
Edit: Corrected to remove suggestion that M56 distribution rail is usable. It turns out that it's permanently bonded to the manifold. |
See, I think that is great information for a thread. Also how you selected the correct valve cover and what other parts you needed. I didn't do this when I first did my CCV because it seemed like I would have to do a bit of trailblazing, given the amount of information on the project.
