So decided to empty my BMS Catch Can today for the second time in 4 months since i installed it. I emptied the can about two months ago also. I've done about 1500klms since then and I don't really drive the car that hard. Quite impressed by the amount of oil it caught. Imagine after a few years of driving without one. All that oil would be lining your FMIC/piping and CP.

do a review on that seems like a good bang for your buck product just like any other BMS product!

We have had one of these in our show room for a couple of weeks now, i will fit it to Justin's car very soon pre track day. Nice looking bit of kit but a bit small in capacity.
We will see how good it is after the track day.

Nice video Edwin. I look forward to emptying mine in a couple months. I was really impressed with the quality of the OCC and the stealth design.

JB135i, where do I order one of these?

Also is there any benefit for use on 1M with no mods, but ~ monthly track use?

Just wondering... Its great to have a catch can to get rid of all the muck that otherwise passes through and I'm not debating that (though some other threads may) but what I want to know is why if you get RB turbos, they recommend not to have one? :

Np, found it!

Definitely worth getting one mate, even on a stock 135i. You'll be surprised how much oil you will pick up over a few months. It's dependent on how you drive and the amount of mileage. If you're doing a monthly track day then I highly recommend it, small investment that will protect your engine in the long term.

Sounds good. Thanks for the info mate - really appreciate it.

Is the installation hard?

Like all BMS products, it's very simple and is intended as a DIY install. After the cowl is removed, it should take about 10-15 minutes. Could be done in 5 minutes if the clips come off easily but everything is nice and tight the first time. Here's the instructions http://burgertuning.com/instructions/occ_install.pdf

It's really good value. I've seen a few other OCC come out over the years but they've all had issues, some even leak! The HPF OCC looked promising but it was over $500. The BMS OCC has been out for a few months and I haven't heard of any issues with it and it's well priced. I can't comment on whether I've collected any oil as I've only put mine in recently, however the quality fit and finish is excellent. I have a feeling you will collect more oil than Edwin due to your regular track days so it's very worthwhile in your case.

Thanks Vinney. I can only imagine the amount of oil this can will catch for the track gurus. Agree, quality is awesome.
