Are there and after-market solutions that may be better?

I read on the E46 forums about a metal valve replacement?

Probably will get this done with my 5000 mile oil change.

Those dont need to be used together.

You can either completely remove the piece or tap out the restriction in the piece (effectively making what burger is selling you).

Guys you dont need a shop this will take you 10 mins to do.

Jack the car up, remove the plastic panel (approx 6-8 screws), clamp the hose, pull 2 pins, pull the CDV out, either plug the hose directly back in or remove the restriction and replace the cdv, then unclamp the hose, you may choose not to bleed although Id recommend bleeding it, then reverse install the parts you removed and youre done.

I did this for 3 members here one afternoon before lunch literally 10-15mins a piece
