As per the title, I’ll be doing a refresh of a few components on the intake-side of the engine shortly. Reason is the replacement of the PCV system. While at it, I’ve ordered the following components:
Intake manifold gaskets - Elring
Full PCV system - Febi Bilstein
Crankshaft sensor - Febi Bilstein
Starter motor - Denso (original BMW I believe?)
Oil filter housing gaskets - Elring
Oil filter - Original BMW part
Oil 5W30 - Castro Edge Titanium LL04
Would there be anything else you’d tackle while on the intake side of the engine? Exhaust side will follow in a month or so, and will include solenoids, cam shaft sensors, cam cover gasket, eccentric sensor, water pump and thermostat.
Thanks for any advice given!

3.0Si intake-side refresh
Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...

3.0Si intake-side refresh
Pretty comprehensive list.
A couple I'd mention if it's just a case of refreshing everything...
Throttle body gasket
DISA Valves (big and small)

Good call on the gasket. Didn’t think the DISA’s on the N52 often cause any issues? Then again, while at it…LemonConnoisseur wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 4:10 pm Pretty comprehensive list.
