Newbie, Introduction...

Hey, everyone new guy to the forum so I don't have everything setup yet in my profile. Just bought a 2009 MCS and I love the way it drives; but I hate all the money I flushing down the toilet maintaining it.

I am looking to become more familiar with the R56 so if someone needs an extra hand let me know. Btw, anyone else having in problems with the liquid vapor separator on their cars?

Tony

Oil vapor seperator? That's a Beemer term.... Are we talking about the breather system used from the valve cover assembly?

It turns out they mean the valve cover. I had to purchase a thermostat and valve cover but the dealer wasn't able to install it. So I am trying to find either a local mechanic or I may try and tackle the install myself.
