Mine is doing OK so far with far fewer miles. The burned oil smell is gone, too.

Why wouldn't taking the heated insulation off of E60 CCV pipes and installing them on the hoses of an M54 CCV system work? Power wiring somehow I'm sure could be accomplished. Take a look on realoem.com:

Cain't be any long term effects
Every car from the mid 60's used this modified design. PCV in valve cover piped into intake manifold. I just made this change to my 2005 X3 had unexplained oil lose and chocolate mayo in valve cover. My boat engine uses this same design PCV in valve cover piped to intake manifold. She is run a lot harder then my X3. Engine is clean(no mayo) no oil lose. Glade I found this post

11000 Mile Update
This is the most amaizing mod for M54! No oil consumption and no noticiable side effects! It is so nice not to worry about hydrolocking the engine in cold weather and adding oil multiple times between oil changes. My OCI - 6.5 - 7.5K.

Just reached 12000 miles with this mod. Currently at 201000 miles on the odometer. Engine runs like new. No mayo and no oil consumption. Highly recommend.
