There is no way to replace the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system without also replacing the valve cover on a BMW. The PCV system is integrated into the valve cover, so in order to replace the PCV, the valve cover must also be replaced. This is because the PCV system is designed to regulate the flow of gases from the engine crankcase back into the intake manifold, and the valve cover houses the necessary components for this process.
If you'd like to know which valve cover fits your specific BMW, please enter your vehicle information on fcpeuro.com underneath "Select your Vehicle". Simply enter your Year, Make, Model, Submodel, and applicable trims. Once your car is selected at fcpeuro.com, our catalog is automatically filtered to show parts that fit your specific car.
Once your car is added to the selector, there are a couple of important ways that we advise correct fitment.
The first is the "fitment indicator" shown on the Product Page after selecting a part. This box is below the "add to cart button" and has two states. It will either say " Yes this part fits" or "Part may not fit, click to verify".
Sometimes the green box will be accompanied by extra fitment notes. These notes may be independent of the information gathered by the vehicle selector. IE: VIN-specific options, need to be taken into account when determining overall fitment.
