Hi Guys,
Has anoyone installed the above ? Was think it might help minimize carbon build up in a log run.

Thanks

The N20 had a much cleverer oil mist minimisation strategy then its predecessors and a better recovery system...I looked at in detail and even on opening up the intakes found at 50k miles little to note when compared to say the N54s..

Hello, I used the BMS Turbo dual baffle N20 oil tank to install, but the bms bracket is not suitable for e89 z4 and requires a DIY bracket. The following is my installation location and pictures I hope to help you.

I have a chinese clone of that BMS catch can in my car.
Costs about £20 on alie.

But there are also other not so big ones for sale that are quite nice.

I don't think that there's a plug&play fit option for the e89, you have to make some sort of bracket.
