Emissions System

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

BMS Oil Catch Can Features:
+ Increases air intake efficiency
+ Promotes engine longevity
+ Double-baffled design allows excellent air/oil separation
+ Large In/Out ports (no tapered sizes that slow flow)
+ Stealth mounting on cooler side of engine bay (promotes condensation of oil to vapor)
+ Anodized black lightweight aluminum
+ N54 version mounts out of sight under the cowl
+ Made in USA with a lifetime guarantee

On M52/S52-equipped BMWs, the factory crankcase ventilation (CCV) system is a notorious weak link. Between brittle plastic corrugated hoses that crumble from heat soak and an internal cyclone diaphragm prone to tearing, a failing CCV leads to massive oil consumption, vacuum leaks, and that dreaded "howling" whistle.

This kit addresses these issues with all new components and hardware. Both oil separator hoses, the cyclone separator itself, the mounting grommet, and the retaining bolts are included. Servicing this system is guaranteed to restore performance lost as a result of worn CCV components.

Kit includes:

BMW Oil Separator Valve | M60 3.0 / 4.0L is a vital component that ensures proper crankcase ventilation by separating oil vapors from blow-by gases, preventing excessive oil consumption and maintaining engine efficiency. Designed for BMW models equipped with the M60 3.0L and 4.0L engines, this oil separator valve helps reduce carbon buildup and extends the life of essential engine components. For optimal results, it is recommended to replace the valve cover and crankcase ventilation system (CCV) when changing the separator valve.

• Effectively separates oil vapors to prevent excessive oil consumption
• Helps maintain proper crankcase ventilation for optimal engine performance
• Reduces carbon buildup and prolongs engine longevity
• Direct-fit replacement for BMW M60 3.0L and 4.0L engines
• High-quality materials ensure durability and resistance to engine heat
• Recommended to replace valve cover and CCV for complete system maintenance

Ensure the longevity and efficiency of your BMW engine by replacing a worn oil separator valve with this high-quality replacement.

Experience a precise fuel-air mixture monitoring system with this Oxygen Sensor designed for your BMW. This heated sensor, ideal for the post-cat, ensures accurate data transmission to the ECU for optimal engine performance. If you're experiencing a drastic drop in gas mileage, replacing your O2 sensor might be the solution to your Check Engine light woes.

Benefits:

• Monitors fuel-air mixture for optimum engine performance
• Heated sensor type for post-cat efficiency
• Helps maintain gas mileage
• Essential component for resolving Check Engine light issues

A new oxygen sensor can improve driveability and lengthen engine life. Ultimately, you achieve a smoother running engine that is more fuel efficient. Feedback from the oxygen sensor provides closed-loop control of the injected quantity of fuel for optimum air-fuel mixture, enabling virtually complete combustion to take place. Contaminants in gas and certain atmospheric conditions can drastically shorten the life of any oxygen sensor, therefore they should be checked with every periodic maintenance and changed if necessary.

This is the OEM Bosch oxygen sensor for BMW's with the N20 and N26 motors. This sensor is mounted in the catalytic converter in the rear most position. OEM replacement for BMW # 11787589122.

The oxygen sensor is vital to the performance and drivability of your car. The engine computer relies on data from the sensor to make adjustments in engine efficiency and performance. When your BMW oxygen sensor fails, the computer can no longer sense the air/fuel ratio, so it ends up guessing -- resulting in poor performance, poor gas mileage, and increased pollution. Make sure your BMW engine performs as it should, and doesn't use more fuel than it needs to, by simply changing your oxygen sensor today. There is no lifespan on O2 sensors but there are several fault codes that indicate a failed sensor (O2 monitoring, cat efficiency, O2 heating circuit, O2 readiness, and others). The O2 sensor is heated and has a self-calibration feature so once you get the codes or feel performance has suffered, a new sensor is a good starting point to get you back to peak performance.

This is a Bosch O2 sensor - also known as a Lambda probe. Bosch is an OEM supplier to BMW.

Position: post-cat, after the catalytic converter (pre-cat). Bank 1 and Bank 2 use the same sensor (2 required per vehicle).
