Re: My F30 Mod today
No leh. Is that yours? Or a picture from the internet.
US passenger side is right over the turbo also. Their piping is not long enough to reach our passenger side. And oil will still condense even if it is over our turbo area. Mainly is to boil off the water captured if any.
Some of the US guys have captured almost a full occ in just half a tank. Mainly due to their colder weather and that 2 cases drive short distances without letting the car warm up. Most of the content, at least 95% is water and fuel.

View attachment 59960
Installation guide from bms
Reason why I posted mine is cause I cannot reach that mounting point with a gruppem air intake.

Re: My F30 Mod today
It comes with 2 hoses, 1 shorter one with an L elbow and a funnel. This is the one with the problem. It is not long enough to reach the passenger side of the car...
Unless you fabricate this hose, there is no way u can reach the other side... Nor was it intended to be not installed at our driver side (right side) of the vehicle.
This was what was caught in the OCC after 45 miles in the USA... This was already over the turbo side but without the driver driving long enough for the engine bay to reach the normal operating temperatures...

Re: My F30 Mod today
Pic is from BMS ........
But if boil off meaning it becomes a gas (you mean like OCC catches the water then have OCC sit near a heat source to be turned into steam) - the vacuum will suck vapor and all through the oil separator then into the intake manifold ...... The OCC is suppose to reduce that .....tougher in our climate unlike colder countries.
I think it would be good to catch whatever via the OCC then pour the stuff out ....... The thing is finding a cooler part of the bay to condense the water and oil.
If that part of the ride is the only practical place to put then no choice.
I have mine sitting near the turbos but I have a bonnet vent right on top of it to cool it down ...... so condensation happens.

Re: My F30 Mod today
Didn't like the looks of the oem camera . Oem products are always more expensive cos' u are paying for the brand .

But blackvue cams mostly spoil if parked under the sun, they cannot take the heat

Hmmmm... Okay.
Didnt happen to mine though and I do park under the sun all day for a period of time.

The older models CMI.
The newer models are ok and can last under the sun.
