Sardonic, I've had to replace the oil separator valve on my 2005 3.0L X3 and I inadvertently pulled this hose free from it's connection under the intake manifold.
I've searched and searched for the correct place to reconnect it but haven't found it yet cuz it's a blind search under the manifold. I was wondering if you know where it connects?
I found a diagram which seems to imply that it connects to the throttle body:

Any ideas?
Thanks,
