Guys

can anyone advise whether my X5 has the foam PVC breather valve or updated one?

its a 15.6.2004 produced  with a M57/TU engine

Hello mate,

Mines a 2005 model and it had the foam type before I changed it to the vortex type ..so I would imagine yours is the foam type too.

cheers Wayne

think Ill get the whole assembly ordered

ditto, mine was produced dec 2004 and it had the foam filter fitted

Guys is it worth buying this

Stealers want £61

That picture looks different to the one I fitted to both our E46 and E53.  The cover looks OK but not the bit on the right of the picture.

I will email the guy but would any of you consider purchasing it if it were correct or would you only use BMW

Personally I haven't found the correct part anywhere but BMW Dealers.

I've just checked the old one off our E46 that I changed a few months back, and that it the right part.  It's just upside down in the pic......

I knew I kept it for some good reason. :-[

Richard

Ok would any of you consider using this part rather than BMW

there only £40 oem

Where from rang all BMW garages around midlands and they approx £61 including VAT

if you could advise where they are for £40 I will purchase as ideally want to service all car before getting it on the road

Robbing gits!  Last one I bought was just over £40 inc VAT from a main dealer just last year.

Richard

Yep now u can see why I am swaying towards this cheaper one

Even with my friends trade discount it's £59

Has anyone used an aftermarket one?

Think this made by vaico

For £20 or so, why such a risk?

Would you risk running with contaminated blood in your veins
