when I get a chance this week I will take a closer pic at where I installed the L shaped bracket to catch can. the L shaped bracket is about 1/8 thick. I got it from work what we use for seat cushions on wheel chairs.

Thanks for all the info I will be monitoring your posts closely from here on out to see how it does long term!
I have all the cold weather CCV parts on my workbench that I bought over winter because I wasn't sure my car would make it through winter once the temps hit 0 degrees and that high pitched whine it would make when cold until it was warmed up, including the cold weather dipstick guide tube which many forget about when using the cold weather CCV kit. I'm going to use the stock parts for now but if I find that it starts failing a couple years from now and you still have good results I will not replace with a stock setup again and will use your setup as a guide to do a catch can on mine.

Catch can or CCV is the question.... I am still holding off on the catch can idea. There 2 (maybe 3) points of interest in this whole setup that put brakes on this project:

those connectors from that ebay listing were NOT correct for my application ( N62 V8 ). The quick disconnect size was just slightly too small and just broke
might have been a bad run from the factory and that's why they are on ebay! never know

To help the CCV last longer, and also the engine, while using the OE CCV setup, here is what I do (we have really long & cold winters):

Dorin THANK YOU for chiming in here, I know you know this engine very well, and I also suspected Gary @ GAS was stalling his project because of issues related to crankcase vaccuum as well. 2 very good tips for winter btw! I will have to think about the cardboard in front of radiator or at least turning off the cabin heat until the coolant is warm, great idea (the latter I probably will do for sure). I also agree that if you are running on 6 years on the OEM cold weather CCV then that is good lifespan, my valve just might be original on my car so it is way overdue for replacement, but I think the key here is if you do the OEM CCV cold weather kit, don't forget the cold weather dipstick tube, as many do forget about it!

Dorin: Thanks for the tips, and for the vote of confidence in the OEM Cold Climate CCV kit. My X5 also has the updated kit, and so far, so good, with two winters under our belts. I have cheese under the 710 cap and sometimes on the dipstick when checking oil, so I need to address that, but am very thankful we haven't had the oil-sucking-into-the-intake problem. It's happened at least twice on our vehicle to previous owners.
I've been watching this thread and debating whether to dive into the mod or not; I would like to go with something like the remote mounted CCV kit that's been discussed, just so it can be easily cleaned out, and also would like to see about adding something that would remove water vapor from the crankcase, but knowing you've had success with the OE kit is encouraging. I have used the cardboard trick in the past on other vehicles, but wasn't sure how the X5 would react to it. The other trick of keeping the heater off until the engine warms up is something I do, but it'll be a tough sell with my wife; her first move when climbing into a cold car is to crank up the heat, never mind the fact that it creates a wind-chill effect inside.

The only "serviceable" CCV would be the Mann-Hummel one, which costs a tad more. The issue I have with it, are these 2:
Having the mayo visible on the dipstick or on the oil cap is not good. When you see it one has 3 alternatives:
