My rubber tube from the oil separator to the bottom of the dipstick
totally rotted off! It was really dumping oil at that point.
Also look at all the Oil Separator hoses and the device itself. I bought
a new one and the two other hoses for $110 from BMW, about to install
now.
Also look at all the vacuum tubing. Most of mine was shot.
I also had the "Adjuster" which is on top of manifold above the idle control
valve break. It's $235 or so, but it runs badly without it working. The paddle
had broken off inside off it's pivot points.
I'm at 203,000 miles and counting now.....
I am stalling intermittenly now, trying to figure it out. Hope the oil separator helps. I did clean idle control valve, it was scared, maybe needs replacing also.
