I'll have a write-u covering the M56 valve cover swap in the next month or so. Gf's E46 will be getting it as well at the X5, since both systems are original at 118k..

FYI...I did the BavarianE39's CCV Mod with Duralast PCV Valve, oil consumption used to be 1qt/400 miles, now after PCV Mod, it is zero oil consumption.

BMW is a bit behind forum members...

Found a guy in Cali selling all the bits needed and i get an extra coil harness...Which I will save to convert my 99 Touring over to the later model coilpacks, which in turn will allow me to run the M56 cover on an M52TU...

Fix the oil separator problem for short drives during the winter, got the wife a soccer mom mini van (Toyota Sienna XLE) that uses a regular PCV valve instead of that over engineered CCV.

Replacing mine and all of the hoses this weekend, along with a Viton OFHG. Must easier job with that out of the way. I also have the un-baffled "cold weather" dipstick.
