I've had one fitted a couple of years now, still have a look at it once a year though. It's a fit and forget part I believe, certainly no problems with it. Another thing I don't regret fitting is the silicon intercooler hose, nice item

Thread moved to a more appropriate forum. Re-direct left in old. This may be the better forum as threads get ‘lost’ very quickly in the General Forum.

Default PCV filter

According to BMW it is not a fit and forget item and should be replaced after a set time/mileage. Cannot see why though since there is no filter to clog up?

Maybe they think it will wear out over time - the valve is opening and closing as the crankcase pressures increase and decrease.

The hardest part was undoing the torx screws to get to it, also you can snap the diesel return pipes when trying to disconnect them. what I did was to remove the cir clip and pull the whole rail out off the way

easy enough to do , just be careful getting access to the filter , it's easy to break fragile connectors
