A piece of info or two from you would help, like what car are you talking about?

[panzercommander]

oh sorry, 04 x5 3.0, ya i know they hid everything under the intake and bmw says you need to remove the intake to replace the ccv/hoses. i just wondered what others have done

Is yours CPO?

OEM parts with winter updated one...
the easy way is to remove the intake manifold
the hard way is you can relpace the ccv hose without removing the intake manifold but it take longer to do it.
