Great video! I actually just ordered two of those $25 amazon catch cans for my ‘11 X5M the other day, and really had no clue what to connect them to. But thanks to this vid, I have a basis for my catch can build! Thanks for the info!
If you dont mind sharing, did you just cut right after the PCV. You will save me a lot of time on what else to order please. Thanks for video, it gave me a basis for my 2010 X5M, thanks!
Thanks for the great video!! I will follow the same concept for my 2012 bmw x5m..... the hose adapter idea helps alot... but I am thinking maybe to install the catch cans between the breather hose and the PCV valves instead of between the pcv valve and the intake....
Check out this website. They make a lot of covers you can put over black hoses to dress them up. I use the silver over black on a lot of my installs. The clamps are what they are. I have even covered those with the Tech Flex to hide them. 👍
Any update on how these are working ? I've just installed catch cans on my s63tu in the same location as you , everything minus the 3D printed bracket .
Hey, how did your catch can set up work, have you made any changes to it? I have set some up on my X5m S63 but put the connecting hoses where the grated plastic hose is / was, and left the check valves exactly where they were set up by the factory.
Looks good. I have a bmw gran turismo and I will be doing this mod as well. I have to find a place for the catch cans on my model where yours are located I have a reservoir tank for turbos .
Would you recommend running the hose directly from the valve cover to catch can and then to the PCV/CCV to intake ///or//// splicing it in front of the CCV/PCV valve with the (3rd hose underneath, not sure where that goes) --> catch can --> intake?
i've been running this setup all year, and although it is correctly setup, it hasn't caught anything. BMW already has it's own oil separator system built into the valve cover, and it seems to be doing it's job perfectly. The oil fount in my intake, and the excessive oil smell from the exhaust continues to be a mystery. right now we suspect premature turbo wear, but that's a long shot.
@@Sgt.Slides Ok. I have my setup with the catch can after the valves. I am not getting anything either. Same oil smell. I think there is a leaky gasket that drips on to the exhaust that can be a problem.
no oil is collecting in mine either. It looks like the OEM oil separator is doing it's job. the oil burning in my exhaust is probably coming in directly from the turbos. not really sure.
Hi, great video. I am new to your channel and I have a 2013 M6. Can you share how you hooked up your oil catch can to the valve cover and the intake? The video didn't show that clearly. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Great video on doing this. I have a 2016 650i xdrive gran coupe that's stage 2 tuned with catless downpipes. I'm thinking catch cans are a good idea next
@@Sgt.Slides I haven't dyno tested it yet but I'm certain its around 600-620 hp. My 0-60 is low 3's. Right around 3.3. I have to take some video this week. The tunes came from AMR Performance and the downpipes from VRSF. Both awesome companies!
unfortunately not. The cans didn't collect any oil and it's still burning oil. I'm not sure why i saw oil in the intake pipes but i dont think that was the issue. i think there's something going on with the turbos.
Hey Good Video :-) One question: How much oil consumes your engine? Do you know if there has been an update for the s63 engine regarding the BMW F90 M5 and the M5 Greetings :-)
Great video bud! May I ask what are those 2 reservoirs next to the right susspension sensor? On the left I can see the coolant, the washer liquid and the oil, bu on the right part of the engine there are two other things, are they both liquid? like steering etc? What are these 2 if you don't mind! Thanks in advance!
Actually the coolant reservoir on the left is the INTERCOOLER reservoir while the coolant reservoir on the right (much bigger) is for the engine... next to the engine reservoir is the steering fluid reservoir (both on right side of engine)
Watching this three years later This is Not where you want to hook up your hoses from PCV valve. ****people do not hook up your hose in this spot it’s wrong***** You have to hook it up further back on the PCV valve you have to cut PCV flex hose in half and that’s where you hook it up. 👍🏻
i ended up running a zip tie thru it to the metal lines. It fits in the space pretty tight but it would be bad if it did dislodge and fall down somehow.
hey, check the link below this video, I made the 3d print file available. If you don't have access to a 3d printer, i can do one for you, but fair warning, i'm kind of slow at making parts and shipping stuff to people. and second warning, this catch can setup is not needed. the factory oil separator works fine.
Great video man how has this worked so far? Will it help for the blue smoke? I’ve changed my ccv valves and it stopped for about 2months and started back!
Good video. Do you have a fallow up on this? I have a bmw 550xi 2011 and I did a stage 2 tune and downpipes. I get very bad exhaust smell and it does run a little rich with negative fuel trims. Did the catch can reduce the exhaust smell? Did it reduce oil consumption? Any advise helps. Thanks
long story short, catch cans did nothing. oil in the intake tube is a bit of a mystery. highly unlikely, but possible fom premature turbo wear, but this car has very low miles. don't waste your time.
Premium Fuel Mag thanks for the reply! Going to have to do the valve seal job then. Do you still get bad smell thru the exhaust? Did you put the cats back on?
This is incorrectly set up. The boxy valve flap part at the end of the OE PCV is supposed to hook directly into the intake pipe. It appears that you have it hooked into the CC and from the CC to the intake pipe. You just nullified the function of the OE PCV device by doing this.
the link is working, you may want to check your internet settings, Here is the link to the cans www.amazon.com/EVIL-ENERGY-Universal-Reservoir-Aluminum/dp/B081N392BN/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1G8KCBI241A2U&dchild=1&keywords=oil+catch+can&qid=1625799680&sprefix=oil+catch+%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-8
The valve cover design actually does what it's supposed to. Catch cans on this motor are pointless. They haven't caught a drop of oil. Oil in my charge pipe may have come directly from the turbo or been residual from a previous issue.
@@Sgt.Slides thanks for this info! I just bought 2 knockoff version of the Mishimoto cans since I don’t see any differences between the two and planning on putting them on my 21 XB7. Both are pretty similar engine(n63) but just a bit different on the layouts
Audience, Stu great mod, but I'm not familiar with BMW's. My brother has a GLS Mercedes, and the M5 BMW for his wife. I have a benz, but no beemer. I'm too afraid to alter the car anyway. They're way too complicated nowadays... Smh
You’re just smelling unfiltered emissions man. It’s not the burning oil. Some of us are used to it from running off-road exhausts on our mustangs for years.
Cool vid good job! but BMS Burger Motorsport has a complete kit for this engine it includes all the proper fittings to attach to the existing PCV hoses and mounting brackets and instructions I do notice you have stock intakes, the BMS won't work only because of the mounting location.I have the RK autowerks front mount intakes so they will fit fine,If you see there website you can see how they mount them www.burgertuning.com/collections/m6-f12-f13-f06/products/bms-turbo-double-baffle-oil-catch-can-for-s63tu-bmw-m-engine
swapping the intake would make things slightly easier, but that entire set up would come in close to a thousand dollars. I have no intention of swapping my intakes. There's no power to gain swapping intakes.
Premium Fuel Mag That’s not true approx 50whp + - have been documented back to back dyno runs with front mount intakes , there has been plenty of R&D to prove this , check out RK tunes , RK Autowerks. , MSR , Evolve they all have dyno runs but to each his own
@@Antimatter. Every company has a dyno sheet showing how much power they gained with their parts, but they're always exaggerated. All these motors need are catless downpipes and a tune. Anything more is money wasted that could go towards maintenance.
@@BoothPope I actually installed the BMS catch can system on my car I put a few thousand miles on the car then opened up the cans to inspect and not 1 drop of oil , so I removed the system to get rid of engine clutter , The PCV system is actually very affective

yes, the symmetry is awesome and this motor is a work of art.
Don’t forget the E70 X5M! Great vid! ✌🏾
If you put a proper stage 2 tune on it, it will stop burning oil. It usually eats a lot of oil if you do catless downpipes with out tune.
This is exactly what brought me to this video lol… I just did Catless downpipes and didn’t tune it as yet. I’m dumping a ton of smoke!!!
Why does it do that? thats weird
Will the catch cans stop it?
I have an F10 M5, with the stock setup (100k miles), and I’m burning 1 liter of oil every 300 miles.
