- Howdy all!
I wanted to share out my latest video for a fantastic preventive maintenance piece for your car. This oil catch can works across many models of BMW, not just my N55 F32 435i. Check it out for N54, B48, S55, S63tu motors and more.
BEFORE you can't potentially drive your car, double check your PCV hose as I mention in the video. Mine instantly broke with a little pressure due to age and heat. Check yours before you potentially cant drive your car to go GET a replacement.
I wish this had been one of the very first mods on my car, and if I had, then I no doubt would have a lot less build up on my valves. This really should be seen a preventative work, and done as early as you can to cut down on valve buildup. If I had installed one of these years ago, I might be able to avoid the walnut blasting, or chemical cleaning routine on my valves.
Every time I get my oil changed from now on, I will pull the catch can and clean it out.
Sincerely, do this today! BMS has these for quite a few models, N55, N54, B48, S55, S63tu and more. Do this today!

You are the GOAT for notifying everyone of a possible failure point before they get balls deep in this project. Thank you.
Happy to help!
Thank you, this is prolly the only clear video for n55 catch can. Appreciate that!!
Happy to help!
Just bought one and it came in a few days ago. Installed it a few hours ago in no time thanks to this!
Happy to help!
First of all thank you for make videos like this one but bad news for me I just broke the hose for coolant so who ever watch this video make sure you don’t broke the hose and thank you again for making video
glad I watched this before attempting the install. Gotta check that plastic hose. thanks!
I broke one before too. Insane how fragile it is!
I know right? Just crazy!
I replaced mine with a rubber one that won't crack.
That hoes is way too fragile. If you get another oem one it'll just break again.
Just want to add a trick on How to NOT LOSE THE SCREW in the Vent Hose attachment tight space: Used Plastic film Food Wrap ~4"x8" (Masking tape also work). Fold in half for increased strength. Pierce the screw in the middle area of Plastic Wrap, next attach the screw to the Torx screw. Wrap the Plastic around the Torx Screw extension. Now it is much easy to put it in place without losing it. When it tightened, removing the excessive plastic wrap.
Fantastic suggestion!
THANKS for the info on the breather hose. I decided to order one, before I checked it on my 16 435. I changed it yesterday. After the new one was in I checked the old one and yep.. it cracked to pieces in my hand.
FYI.. that screw on the bottom is a real pain. But I did get it out and back in.
FYI... again, its a T25.
Glad to help and glad you checked the hose!
What's the trick to reaching the screw to loosen and reinstall?
This is helpful. Nice one!
Very clear and methodical. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice DIY. Mines on the way. Tossing the cover anyway
Right on
sorry to revive an old vid with a comment but...
i replaced the pcv/ccv hose today, getting it ready for the BMS OCC that shows up in a few days, and not only did this hose snap about where yours did, but when i had my arm down below to wiggle the bottom out, my elbow was pressing on the coolant reservoir return line and that snapped as well. FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ENGINE ON THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE (on the driver side of the engine bay), NOT THE RESERVOIR SIDE!!!
i suspect it already had a hair line crack in it. i wasn't overly applying weight on the hose at all, matter of fact i barely touched it, then i hear the sound of pressurized liquid, look up and see all that juicy BMW coolant spraying at the radiator lol. What would've been a $140 part from my local BMW dealer, came out to be just over $60 because my brother used to work there. Whew!
i advise everyone here, buy one from ECS or FCP for $40 even if you don't need it today, because one day you will, and your local BMW dealer is gonna take advantage of you. ECS for the BMW ccv hose for $70, or get the Rein for $43 from FCP, the dealer quoted me $170, $80 with my brother's discount.
I went with the Rein CCV hose. Fitment was tough because the hose is THICK AND SUPER STIFF. I'm not sure if the BMW version is like this, but I struggled getting the top portion clipped into the valve cover because you have to push and clip it into the valve cover at a pretty extreme angle. I had to loosen the bottom T25 screw out but not completely, clip the top into the valve cover, and then screw the T25 down while periodically making sure it was evenly seating back into the intake hose by wiggling and pressing it in, screw, wiggle+press, until the T25 sat flush and had resistance.
hope this helps someone!
Great info!
The engine cover fits really nicely in a large garbage bin
i've been wanting to add an oil catch can for some time to my f30 n55... however, is there a way to replace all of those lines braided AN lines and clamps? (remomve the shitty places from the system all together?)
How to u take the breather hose out
Great video, and yes my PVC vent hose was as flexible as a big cheeto when i did this install. But, because of this video i ordered one before and had it on hand before i started - so thanks so much for the referral. So have you done any chemical cleaning of the valves like with seafoam spray? I was think of doing this but i can't find any reasonable place to spray. Any suggestions?
Happy to help, and pleased that you could avoid the !#$!#$#$!!! AAAAAAHG run to the dealership before the closed like I did.
So I haven't tried any of the cleaners yet and really hear mixed reviews on the N55 and cleaning. Some folks walnut blast, which gives the owner of my local shop the shivers. They do chemical cleaning only, but some special system, but also rarely do it on N55s! So really not sure honestly.
@@BMWDIYGuy Good to hear they don't do N55s very often and I agree about the walnut blast so maybe we're A-OK with having the catch can. Time will tell...
Ive noticed a particularly heavy emphasis from other bmw guys to keep that engine cover. They hold a ton of heat on those coils and injectors
Yeah.. totally get you on the heat factor.
So heat on the coils are good?
Do you just do the reverse of this to clean the oil catch can every oil change?
Even easier, just unscrew the can from the top. If you can't get your fingers in, just pull the bolt that holds it to the frame, dont need to disconnect hoses.
How do you do your oil change? Do you take this entire thing off then drain and fill the oil?
Is the vent tube in the description the hose you replaced? So I should order the $50 tube and the oil catch can at the same time?
So you can clean out the can any time, separate from oil changes. Just carefully unscrew the can, and dump out. The breather hose itself gets very fragile, so be prepared to replace it, and yeah I would consider just changing it regardless. Part number is in the description.
So it looks like it will be almost impossible to unscrew the canister to empty it. It looks like a complete uninstall to empty and then reinstall. The other side of the engine bay, there is plenty of room to mount the oil catch can where you would be able to unscrew it and empty it at ease.
Is it not recommended to install it so far away from the original position? Is that going to affect flow or create problems if longer hoses are used?
Great questions. I don't know if hose length would be an issue, but the OEM hose would have to be 2 or 3x longer, then the return of equal length. I can get the can off with fingers under and around, then it screws off and back on.
I know this is an old video but thinking of doing this, what steps do you do take to remove the oil? Do you have to remove the whole OCC or can you just unscrew the bottom part?
Still very valid and have this in my car.. you just unscrew the can off the mount and empty. I did that the other day and the oily water mess in the can was nasty!
@@BMWDIYGuy Thanks for the reply..
does anyone else's CC cause a howl from vibration at high rpm? I started getting a high rpm howl right after installing, particularly on deceleration.
Not that I have ever seen myself
Thanks for the video. Does it catches a lot of oil in your case?
Every oil change I empty the can, and its about half full of watery/oily/nasty death. Smells like turpentine with floaties. Really gross honestly and for all of the folks that say a catch can is overkill, I just dont think so. I dont see why you wouldn't have one, considering how easy they are to install.
How often do you check the can and how much oil is in it?
I check it every oil change, and there is about a half inch of what looks like oily water in it.
What size did you get? Looks pretty tight in there.
It's very very tight and only one size from Burger
Do you have any instructions on how to replace the pvc hose?
If you mean the hose that can break is broken, it's really easy. There is a single screw at the bottom that holds it down and the clips at the top.
Yea it's little one screw
Nice video buddy, how much oil does these catch can really catch?
Depends on your car and local conditions as well. Even for the folks that say the N55 and newer engines don't need/require these, I disagree. (The N54 desperately needed this)
Even if the total is small, its just one more way to incrementally support your motor. Any time you pull your N55 or S55 charge pipes you find oil in them, and I like to keep as much of that as possible out of the engine, injectors and valves.
For me, its cheap but effective upgrade.
Thanks buddy
@@BMWDIYGuy Agreed. I just replaced my N55 Charge Pipe and there were small amounts of oil lining the old plastic pipe. Catch can is a must. Great video. This is next on my list. Thank you.
You forgot mentioning replacing the cv breather pipe.😏
5 minutes and all i hear is about this breather hose😂
How many miles at the time of the oil catch can install?? It's surprising that the CCV/PCV vent hose was so brittle...and broke.
Probably 50k.. they are infamous for baking in the engine heat.
@@BMWDIYGuy ... thanks for the reply!
How do you empty the catch can? Do you have to undo all the bolts and hoses just to empty it?
Easy.. the can just screws off, empty and clean and screw back on.
@@BMWDIYGuy Yeah I figured that you can unscrew the Can. But if you have a look at 9:28 it doesn't look like there isn't much space for you to put your hand in and to unscrew the occ without spilling it due to a poor grip.
By the way... I would like to install one as a precaution, meaning that I don't currently have a problem with clogged-up valves or anything. However, I would like to know how much carbon buildup there is already. Is there a way to check for it without taking the whole intake manifold off?
@@-_vh_- it is possible though very tight. In a different case I pulled the bolts on the bracket and lifted to get enough room
@@-_vh_- bore cam is the only way I am aware of.
No hose clamp?
Not needed
@@BMWDIYGuy you're the only 1 not use clamp. I use clamp not have vacuum leak.
What's the part # for the pcv hose?
It's in the video description
@@BMWDIYGuy Oh, there it is. Thanx. I'm getting a whistling noise at low speeds when I let off the gas. I've been to two shops and they tell me it's normal but I don't think so. Maybe it's that hose.
@@TheRaferaf hmm... possible. That hose gets super fragile and cracks easily. You can check by GENTLY wiggling it in the middle.. if it makes any cracking noise it's shot. I wouldn't do so though honestly until a replacement is on hand. They can shatter inside the insulation cover super easy.
@@BMWDIYGuy Thanks man. I checked that hose and it seems solid. The whistling continues. I read somewhere that it could be lack of lubrication in the turbo but that kind of service might be beyond my skill set. I'll have to take it to the dealer.
@@TheRaferaf charge pipe leak would be another place to look. Check gaskets top and bottom and if aftermarket pipe with clamps in the middle, check those too.
I hate that location. I want to move mine.
I'm not down w/ cutting the engine cover... I'll search for other alternatives.
Good luck
BMW engine bays are a nightmare. Couldnt believe how much cheap crap in there when I got my first one
