Ah, I did not realize that the wacky remote terminal routing is so common. Why would BMW route the wire like this? It makes absolutely no sense. Also, I HATE the hose clamps that BMW used for the oil separator. The ones that do not have a screw and are crimped together. Is there a trick to easily remove them?

I ordered the oil separator, both oil separator hoses, the oil return hose (12), and the screw hose clamps from bimmerspecialist.ca. These guys have great prices and awesome customer service. They sold me all the parts and next day/saturday delivery for $120.

I tonight I am going to reroute the remote power terminal and replace the valve cover gaskets. I thought about routing the cable along the driver side fender wall. Any suggestions?
