Product details
OVERVIEW
Built for the E-chassis N55 135i and 335i, this BMS catch can intercepts the oil vapor carried by the crankcase ventilation system before it reaches the turbo inlet. Keeping that oil out of the intake, intercooler and charge piping helps protect the direct-injected intake valves from carbon deposits and keeps the intake charge clean under boost, without disturbing the factory closed-loop PCV operation.
The can is machined from aluminum with three internal baffles and hoses sized to match the OEM PCV routing, and it mounts with a billet flat bracket and a billet adapter nipple made for the N55. Burger quotes about 20 minutes to install, and the job is completely reversible. Oil is removed by unscrewing the base or through the 1/8" NPT drain, and a transparent base is available for those who want to see the oil level. Made in the USA with a lifetime guarantee.
