Cold Start Gremlin!

This is the Genuine BMW part I've bought. It has a check valve here to the oil pan.

And this part number is for my 2002 manual according to RealOEM

Thanks, after studying my engine bay photo for a while, the 11 61 7 831 930 is the hose fitted to my car.

I presume the fat piece in the pipe is an NRV valve.

What part connects to the threaded port on the bottom sump in the picture below:

Number 4

Should be for the oil return line from the valve cover, I *think* there is 2 different variations of how the line connects to the pan, one an AN fitting and one a rubber hose/clamp, I may be wrong though.

Thanks, i thought it might be that return pipe. As you mentioned and i saw on RealOEM, a hose and a pipe clamp is shown in the diagram.

I select based on production year at the door sill, although mine is a 2002 model, my production year is 2001 / 11
In RealOEM, they post both SMG and Manual parts together lik all 4 these options
You need to be very careful to browse what's inside and with the word here: SMG Yes and SMG No

I didn't check what's in my vehicle at the moment, but I am confident that mine is a manual since from factory, and has never been converted or anything.

Thanks. It was because i was putting in the VIN, i only had one 'Crankcase-Ventilation Separator' section shown. I'm impressed if you had 4 'Crankcase-Ventilation Separator' sections to choose from.

Are you selecting your car in RealOEM by using the last 7 digits of the VIN?

Is that part what is defintely on your car at the moment?

I don't think there is a check valve on my car. There is definitely not a valve in part 11 61 7 831 336 in post 71 but there looks like there is a valve in my engine bay pic, post 61.

Picky SMG convert here. Must get this part now. Dang it.

I wouldn't since the SMG specific part with the rest of its components will work just fine.

I'm not sure how RealOEM works out whether the car is manual or SMG. Obviously if you put the last 7 digits in then it can work it out but from just choosing the series, body type, model and whether it is LHD or RHD doesn't seem to cover it.

It doesn't. There are two different diagram pages that you can open, one for SMG and one for manual.

On the other hand, the SMG part is ~$45 and the 6MT part is ~$150, so I'd stick with the SMG part unless I was being really picky about the conversion being "perfect"

Did you check this on the new factory tube you just bought? I've asserted this for a while, but want someone else who has known-good OE hardware to confirm it since I made my own hose.

Does anyone know what type of connector the 4 prong connector is?

[bmwfnatic]

Do you have a part number for the pipe in the pic below. I cannot find anythiny like it in RealOEM.

No, it’s considered part of the oil pan and does not have its own part number.
