Vortex Breather

Post by Big A » Wed Aug 05, 2015 2:29 pm

Just got my E83 2.0d X3 and looking to change the breather from the old loo roll type to the vortex one.  Can anyone tell me if the one pictured below is what I'm after?

Thanks

That looks like the one I got.

I got mine from BMW. There are cheaper ones but as you don't need to replace it again I would buy genuine just in case.

Thanks mate.  Did it just come as pictured or with the casing/housing too?  Seen replacements on line and some are just the breather and some have the gasket and casing too.  How much was the one from BMW if you don't mind me asking?

It was £32.40 from BMW
I am sure it was as your pic and a gasket.

Thanks very much.  That's not as expensive as I thought it would be direct from BMW :)
