If you own a E46 M3 you need a oil catch can...Period

[@MilfWagon]

Didn’t realize it was that easy, just ordered one.

[@boxpimp]

One of the cleanest installs I’ve seen

[@lordgibbness]

If you delete the sap pump, you can utilise the bracket that it was bolted to. Another option anyway :)

[@paulaldrich8820]

dude I just came across your videos because I am working on my E46 M3 and I must say you've got great videos and a sweet vibe to you haha

[@My_Fault]

Great looking install! The only suggestion i would make, is to put some type of rubber grommet on the metal where the hoses pass through the ABS area into the engine bay. The engine moves and shakes, which will cause those hoses to rub against that metal and will eventually rub a hole in them. Something as simple as some rubber vacuum line with a slit cut in it, so it will slide onto the metal. Otherwise, very clean setup!

[@SrSalas]

I love all the DIY’s you post! Keep it going! Thanks!

[@BimmerDude]

Thank you! Will do!

[@JS-oi5jt]

Dude... Clean install!!! It looks like it belongs there. OEM+ great idea.

[@BimmerDude]

Thanks! 👍 when we shugeduzit action on the youtubes🙃

[@dubsak6496]

Bimmer Dude is the GOAT

[@Small_Potatoe-p4t]

Can you post a link of where you purchase the hose from? Thanks x 999

[@Moezer]

Is it hard to empty it since it's in that location?

[@seanbenjamin6998]

What was the hose size ? I just picked up one for my M and would like to get better fuel hose and clamps.

[@RangerRudie]

Mine is silver and wrapped orange, I love the yellow

[@ivanvillar2096]

Hi,where can I buy the hose .what is the size.Thanks

[@Dizzy_N]

Is it a dry sump system?

[@adamaljoulani1693]

is BMW e46 reliable and what do you think is the common problems you had with it plz

[@thomaswipf7986]

egr delete?

[@cantuwithdraw]

for my 06 m3 it was throwing codes

[@antdo]

Looks like you are ready for a track day 😉

[@BimmerDude]

😆 where have I heard that before🤔

[@filipebmwm3]

Great video man! U make me thinking buying also one. Where u get the hoses from? Good clean job.

[@Theteese]

Pitty you never showed removing and installing the the bottom of the catch can....... I take it with your large hands you will need to remove the hoses off the catch can to get access to the removable bottom..... With SeanS54 install it appears that removing the bottom of the catch can would be easier.....

[@mustbenice3829]

what is the trunk lip on your e36?

[@GenoFoster]

Nice video man! I just installed one on my e46 m3 as well, hoping to see some decent results as time goes on

[@BimmerDude]

Thanks bro! same here im a tad nervous to see what happen lol

[@GenoFoster]

Bimmer Dude Right? Haha we can run it for a while and do a little comparison of what it catches lol 🤔

[@EuroAutoEnthusiast]

Thanks for the insight with this video! I read up these a few years ago when I had my E46 M3 and I came to a similar conclusion as you mentioned early...non-turbo. However, it makes perfect sense to eliminate loss of performance by installing anyway. Do you have a link (affiliate or otherwise) for this one?

[@TheWarewolf79]

Nice install and good quality OCC I have the same one...though I noticed you are using heater hoses, you should use oil/fuel hoses with the OCC...nice video otherwise! Cheers.

[@ninofajardo1288]

does your m3 burn oil?

[@MikeCincoCapas]

did it on my N14 R56 last May and am not looking back. Can't believe I didn't do it years ago... sweet video, as always! What is the matrix?? lol

[@sebastienedouard3]

Good to know 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 very good video

[@ShenryRNBSN]

AJ the catch can dude. On the mini in the e46... lol.

[@jmob502]

Very nice🔥🔥🔥

[@andrewtava1989]

Off topic but where on earth is the damn mini bro 🤨

[@BimmerDude]

It got ran over by a Cadillac escalade 2 years ago...

[@kendtchileninjah5905]

Matrix history lol yep🤙🏾💯

[@friguy4444]

Well I really like your car. It's a nice color and unique. You are also a good presenter on your videos. Great job! BUT I didn't hear anything about WHY I need to put a redundant part on my E46 M3. It is pointless as the BMW engineers already designed the S54 engine to just simply put the oil back into the engine where it belongs. It has a tube going from the very spot you took your oil catch can from and then put it into the engine. Please tell me why I NEED to perform this mod as I really don't see what the point is. Thanks for the video and you did a good job of putting it in.

[@2be1withU]

The oil catch can separate the oil from air/water and prevent the oil from going back to the engine. On a port injection it is not as important since the fuel injection spray can clean the valves. This set up is more important for direct injection where there is more carbon build up on the valves

[@CharlesChristena]

No you don't. Not unless you are forced induction.

[@jasonretamar2849]

So this isn't a CCV delete

[@RIKWID]

Correct. This catch can just goes between the factory oil separator and the airbox. If that much fluid is getting into the catch can, that means the oil separator isn't working because it's clogging up and needs to be cleaned or replaced. Or you can bury your head in the sand and put in a catch can and wait for it to completely clog up and cause other problems.
