Preferred Vendor for 3.0 Cold Weather CCV?

ChiefRider · #1 10-19-2017, 03:50 PM

Any suggestions on where to buy? I'd like to get OEM without the dealer price of course, on a cold weather CCV kit. Winter's coming.....

Thanks!

Check FCPeuro and getbmwparts.com and order from whoever is cheaper. You can check for part numbers on realoem.com

I just ordered the kit from Max at BMW Repair Parts: OEM, Genuine | OEM Bimmer Parts and had them shipped next day!

Thanks for the replies.

I went with ECS, and bought the OEM sourced cold weather oil separator kit. I looked at a few different suppliers, many only offer URO brand parts, which I will not use based on my experience with anything from them for the many M-B's I have/had.

I spoke with a rep from ECS who verified this kit uses OE BMW components, hopefully so! I also learned my 2004 is VIN specific for the CCV, early vs. late production; mine being late, it of course uses the more expensive separator.
