BMW Engine Parts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

After the introduction of the M52TU/M54 engines, BMW observed an uptick in CCV-related issues, especially in cold regions. Vehicles operating in extremely low temperatures often encountered a blockage in the CCV dipstick hose, leading to elevated crankcase pressure and visible blue smoke from the exhaust. To address this issue, BMW introduced cold climate-specific hoses with foam insulation, preventing condensation and facilitating quicker oil warm-up. This kit incorporates top-notch reproduction cold climate hoses to ensure optimal CCV performance across all weather conditions.

The crankcase ventilation valve, known as the oil separator, PCV, CCV, or crankcase pressure regulator valve, plays a vital role in redirecting oil from your vehicle's intake system back into the engine oil pan. This system comprises numerous plastic and rubber hoses, prone to damage due to prolonged exposure to chemicals and heat.

Designed to tackle or prevent impending CCV system failures, this kit includes four foam-insulated hoses made from durable plastic capable of withstanding heat fluctuations and chemical exposure. Additionally, a new ventilation valve is included for a comprehensive and long-lasting repair solution.

Signs indicating the need for crankcase ventilation system replacement include:

Whistling sounds from the intake manifold, caused by crankcase pressure venting through holes in the CCV hoses. Blue smoke emitting from the tailpipe, indicating oil consumption. Excessive oil usage. Milky or yellowish buildup under the oil cap, suggesting condensation due to ventilation valve malfunction. If you're experiencing misfires, lean fuel codes, decreased fuel efficiency, or noticeable oil consumption, it's advisable to overhaul your crankcase ventilation system. Opt for this reliable system from Febi-Bilstein for a repair that meets factory standards and ensures consistent performance.

This top-end gasket set covers the cylinder head on the S54 engine used in the E46 M3, Z3 M Roadster/M Coupe, and E85/E86 Z4 M Roadster, M Coupe. If you're pulling the head, intake manifold, or doing any other upper end engine work this set can be a time and money saver. This set includes all of the commonly replaced gaskets, seals, and o-rings when overhauling the head. It's also a useful kit to have and dip into any time you're doing upper end engine work. Not having a critical seal or gasket on hand can ruin your work and this gasket set can prevent that from happening. This Victor Reinz set includes the head gasket.

This set of top-end gaskets is a both a time and money saver. It includes all of the commonly replaced gaskets, seals, and o-rings when pulling the cylinder head for overhaul. Having these on hand instead of chasing them down at the last minute will save you time, money, and frustration. With the head off the car you're going to want or need to replace these items anyway to ensure it's free of fluid and vacuum leaks. This is especially important because the newer BMW models have very strict emissions controls and vacuum and oil leaks can create turmoil in the system. Even if you're not pulling the head this set includes so many valuable parts you'll want to keep this on hand to use for spares.
