Why doesnt elring design and market an aluminum valve cover with serviceable pcv as an upgrade?

[@elringdasoriginal]

Nice Idea - Casting of aluminum is not so easy to integrate all functions like we can do in a plastic valve cover. Best regards Elring

BMW - designed to last through a two-year lease.......if even that. So, what's next on the ultimate plastic machines? Plastic pistons? Plastic rims? Plastic bodies?
