Gauging interest: takeoff plate to mount oil separator on 35d

[ZetaTre]

As you may have read in my other post (http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...separator.html) I've added an oil separator in my 35d that completely remove the oil from the crankcase ventilation system which would otherwise go into the intake: using a Mann+Hummel Provent 200 the oil mist carried by the fumes is separated out and drained back into the sump; the fumes continue to go through the intake. You can read all about it there.

Since I've had some people showing interest in take off plate shown therein, I figured I start up a new discussion to count interest and see if it makes sense to run a batch.

I'm not interest at all in commercializing this product; I have no financial gain from this and all proceeds would go to the fabricator to cover his cost. He may make a profit, and that would be my way to thank him from making my plate. The ultimate decision on whether or not run a batch will be made by the fabricator.

You will get a piece like the one in the picture below: the CNC machined plate with the elbow TIG welded. The shape of the plate is the result of laser scanning the original BMW PCV and it is CNC machine. High quality and perfect fit. It will be natural aluminum and will not include any of the other things I've documented in my post. The price is $150.



If there is an interest for the plate only without the elbow, the cost would be $100. People should consider the plate without the elbow if they want to investigate other possible locations of the separator that may require a different orientation of the elbow. 335d owner should also consider this as I'm not sure whether the same positioning of the ProVent is possible in the 335d. If you go with the plate only, this is what you'll get:
