I don't know. I tried to put the number into realoem before I posted hoping to get some fitment info and it doesn't show anything. As I said, I hammered the local part guy to get this part for me and he keep coming back saying there is nothing for the M62. There is also a "cold weather" variant for the CCV parts for 3.0L, but not for the M62. The M62 gets the added heated wrap.
That part number is listed in the M62 service bulletin for this problem, and I have installed it on my 2001 4.4 - 2 winters ago now - after my own freeze up. The service bulletin (SIB 110104) for M62 is posted on the other thread I linked to. The first page lists it applying to M62 through 9/2003 build date and the last page gives the part number for the heated kit.

It would make sense because on my m62 540it wagon the CCV is located on the front of the engine behind the lower timing cover/ internally in the engine. My X4.6is has it located at the back of the engine externally located. Good yo know. The n62 carries a completely different type of CCV THAN THE M62. Even the later model N62 engines had insulation around the pipe of the CVV and the unit itself.

Thanks for the link, David. Informative thread. Quick synopsis of the CCV issue:
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...tml#post793790 Besides the ECS kit, are there upgrades that would be preventative? If I have to replace the valve cover gasket set again....

@David - Thank you for pointing out that kit! I will probably end up getting that next winter (since this one seems to be above freezing from here on out). I was able to find that for Range Rovers, just not BMW. That will allow me to keep my X5 instead of getting rid of it since I don't want to replace the CCV every year!

If you live in colder climates like me this is common on these junk E53's. Happens on both 6 and all V8. The kits are a joke and only work the first year. The white milky stuff freezes in your oil if you don't drive more than a half hour each day to work to burn it off, it gets stuck in the PCV valve and oil tubes. This happens around 18 degrees and lower. BMW well knows of the design flaw and ignores it.
The pressure in the engine sucks the engine oil in the cylinders and makes the engine smoke and or causes hydraulic lock and ruins the engine by bending the pistons rods or blows a head gaskets or both. On my 4.4 it forced the oil out the valve cover fill cap and it never smoked. It did blow my valve covers and rear main seal $2K The only way I found to help avoid this is 1. don't own a X5 2. Don't start the car under 18 degrees 3. definitely use Marvels Mystery Oil in your oil. This only happens if you don't drive far each day and the temps get below 18 degrees....6cyl-8cyl, new CCV parts ,it doesn't matter, will happen.

Stan Lee makes oil?
And why would it be a mystery...in the Age, of the Spectrophotometer! Sounds fishy and not very Marvelous to me.

Reading about all of this muck, e.g.:
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-problems.html and: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...tml#post793790 it seems I really can't complain, the car is almost 14 years old, and 65K miles, so I can't really complain about one CCV failure. I don't even mind spending money on the car. I'm just irritated that it happened six weeks after being in the shop anyway. D'oh!
