E53 mod?
While it is too late for mine, is this something that could be done on an E53?

My apologies if that's an ignorant question.

D'oh!

I'm sorry, I have the 4.6 M62B46 engine. For which, I assume, the answer is "no".

There have been a few threads where a catch can was part of modification to the CCV system.

I wouldn't say no, someone must have done it, or something similar, you just have to dig.

Yep, I'm working on that as I have time.

The search function does not accept "CCV" because it is "too common".

To be fair, I have found a few things, but I am well aware that anything that include the word "Dinan" has passed into the "nearly impossible for me" category.

Oh, and I should say I'm finding cold country valves, just not for the M62.

Rats!

I just did this mod on my wife's x5 and now have a lean engine code. It smokes slightly at idle and my wife said the engine hissed for about a minute straight when she turned it off today. Does anyone else have high fuel trims with this set up? In using the same part # for the valve as the op.

Sounds like you have a vac leak somewhere, mine does the "hiss" for maybe 1 second after I shut the engine off. Fuel trims are stable, and have not had any vehicle produce smoke after this mod, any chance you installed the PCV the other way around ?
