Oil venting and circulation continues to be a problem on BMW engines and now even more so on the turbocharged N54 and N55 engines. The existing stock system does a very poor job of separating fluid and vapor and this leads to an oily film or even small pools of oil throughout the turbos and intake. We're seeing a lot more 135 and 335 cars with drivability and performance issues because oil has sneaked by the ring seals and is coating the intake piping, intercooler, intake valves, and other critical areas. The problem is worsened with higher boost levels. Oil is excellent for lubricating moving parts but terrible when it gets into the combustion chamber, effectively lowering the octane rating and reducing performance. Our own shop has gone the extra step and offers media blasting of the intake valves to strip away the oily buildup we have seen.

Our shop also strongly recommends an oil catch can be installed in the line for the crankcase vent. The oil catch can traps oil as it leaves the valve cover and holds it in a canister. This catch can is located on the cooler side of the engine where the oil will condense easier and stay in the can. Whatever minimal vapors are left over in the oil is then vented back through the canister and into the intake where it is safe to be burned up in the engine or recirculated back through the system again. This is the way the system was designed! At each oil change simply unscrew the canister and empty the trapped oil with your regular used oil. The Burger Tuning oil catch can is the best we have seen so far. Installing one of these will avoid costly repairs in the future and help maintain your boost and performance. It's one of the smartest modifications you can make because it demonstrates a well-thought out tuning strategy and care for the condition of your engine.

The BMS Oil Catch Can is made from aluminum and with a stealthy black anodized finish. It installs on the cooler side of the engine with a dedicated bracket and new oversized vent lines. The location is key as heat will evaporate the oil and send too much vapor back into the engine (where cooler air will turn it back into fluid). The BMS OCC also has a factory-like appearance. Since BMS designed their catch can from scratch they can guarantee it fits and performs correctly for the N54/N55 engine, unlike other catch cans on the market that are poorly retrofitted from other applications and under-sized for the N54 engine.

Note: Since the crankcase vent system is considered part of the overall emissions system, installing this may be a violation of local, state, and federal laws. While exemptions are made for track/race and off-road use, check with your local state inspection facility on using this in street-driven vehicles

Product Description:

M7 Speed proudly presents the Limited Edition Turbo Heat Shield for all Gen 2 Turbocharged 1.6-liter MINI Coopers. This exclusive release features the same top-selling heat shield, now in a custom Hacienda Wrinkle Red powder coat finish. Perfectly complementing the limited edition MAXX Flo intake system also available in this striking red finish.

This new color has gained popularity among young tuner enthusiasts, adding a vibrant touch under the hood and a distinct WOW effect for MINI owners aiming to stand out. Made in the USA from 0.09in [2.2mm] heavy gauge aluminum material, CNC laser cut, and CNC formed, this heat shield ensures consistently high quality. Lined with ceramic thermal insulation on the underside, it minimizes heat transfer to the hood and top side of the engine compartment, proven effective even on professional race cars subjected to extreme heat.

Features and Benefits:

• Fits both the N14 and N18 MINI 1.6-liter turbocharged engines.
• Open design allows heat to escape down and away from the turbo, enhancing heat rejection through radiator airflow.
• Ceramic thermal insulation reduces heat transfer, preserving the engine bay, hood, hood scoop, and hood graphics.
• Simple DIY installation, mounting directly to the engine at easily accessible factory holes.
• All necessary mounting hardware included, with a 15-30 minute installation using basic hand tools.
• Adds a finished look to the engine compartment, enhancing the WOW! effect.
• Acts as an additional layer of protection for the hood and hood scoop, used alongside the factory turbo heat shield.
• PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA.

Why install an M7 oil catch can? The M7 Oil Catch Can protects your MINI Cooper's engine from excessive oil and hydrocarbon buildup, which can lead to performance-hindering oil film and sludge on your intake tract, engine control sensors, and intake valves. With direct injection in 2007 & up MINIs, the intake valves don't get cleaned, leading to oil residue buildup. By capturing excess oil vapor and particles, the M7 Oil Catch Can ensures optimal engine performance.

The kit includes all necessary hoses, brackets, clamps, fittings, and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, as well as an oil drain plug and an easy-to-view sight tube. The sight tube lets you monitor the oil level in the can. The hoses are high-quality "Made in the USA" automotive grade, designed to withstand the under-hood environment without degradation.

R55-R59 Oil Catch Can Kit for N18 MINI Engines

Introducing the newly updated R55 through R59 Oil Catch Can kit for MINIs equipped with the N16 or N18 engine. This kit includes a "designed-to-fit" stainless steel bracket, mounting hardware, and pre-assembled hoses for easy installation—no drilling or special tools needed. Note: This kit has been redesigned to fit directly behind the outlet of the airbox on the firewall, using the factory tab located on the firewall.

Despite skepticism from "forum experts and social hysteria," an Oil Catch Can (OCC) is essential. Many MINI owners suffer from carbon buildup on their intake valve due to oil being recycled through the intake tract. With the M7 Oil Catch Can, your MINI Cooper's engine will be protected from excessive oil and hydrocarbon buildup, preventing performance-hindering oil film and sludge. Direct injection in 2007 & up MINIs exacerbates the issue, leading to oil blow-by burning onto intake valves, resulting in power loss and expensive repairs.

By capturing excess oil vapor and particles, the M7 Oil Catch Can ensures optimal engine performance. Now with our exclusive "Exact-Fit" pre-assembled hose kit and brackets, installation is super easy.

Features:

• Pre-assembled hose assemblies
• Stainless steel bracket and mounting hardware
• Eliminates intake tract oil contamination and intake valve damage
• Prevents premature sensor failure
• Maintains engine performance at peak levels
• Carbon Fiber canister with billet bright aluminum top and bottom

The M7 Oil Catch Can is not only functional but also a work of automotive performance ART! It features a 100% carbon fiber housing with CNC machined billet aluminum top and bottom, adding a sharp look to your engine compartment.

All hoses, brackets, clamps, necessary fittings, and easy-to-follow detailed step-by-step instructions are included, along with an oil drain plug and an easy-to-view sight tube. The sight tube allows you to monitor the oil level in the can. The hoses are high-quality "Made in the USA" automotive grade, designed to withstand the rigors of the under-hood environment without degradation.
