oil catch can or air oil separater for gas engine. Doesn't give any more hp but keeps you from losing what you have.
have them on my tacoma and jeep rubicon. they sit between your pvc valve and where it dumps back into the intake.
It is an oily mist that degrades your gasoline rating.
On a turbo engine which has higher crankcase pressures it is even more of a problem.
I have sure there are some kits around for the BMW sports cars since the go fast crowd doesn't want to lose any
HP. So has anyone seen a kit. It should just swap on in.

Diesel has one of sorts.
Pre release the Ineos tech told me that the set up doesn’t require it, and fitting one would be a very bad idea. Can’t recall why though.

You do not need one, if you have a diesel model. It has one, made by Hengst.

The BMW diesel has a Hengst, one of the best oil air separators at the front of the engine so there is no need for a catch can.
Aftermarket catch cans can increase crankcase pressure because of poor design and for some engines the hoses are undersized, too long and have too many bends or people don't drain or service them enough.

Plus the diesel also has a fuel/water separator as well. Just something extra you do not need to buy.
