Description
The Mishimoto Baffled Oil Catch Can Kit (MMBCC-F80-15CAW) was engineered specifically for the S55-powered BMW M3 and M4, the first compact M cars to receive factory turbochargers and, with them, the age-old problem of crankcase blow-by. Built around Mishimoto’s patent-pending 2-Port Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can, this kit uses a 50-micron bronze filter and an internal baffle to separate oil from crankcase vapors before they can reach sensitive engine components. A CNC-machined lid with large inlet and outlet ports matched to the CCV hose size makes this one of the more purpose-built car engine parts available for the F8X chassis.
Unlike heated air-oil-separator systems that condense some vapor and drain blow-by back into the oil pan, this Mishimoto catch can is unheated so that all blow-by, including low-octane oil vapor and contaminated fuel vapor, condenses inside the can and stays there permanently rather than recirculating through the engine. For anyone researching parts of a car engine that actually protect the intake tract during automobile combustion, this catch can defends the intercooler, intake system, and VANOS system from oil contamination while helping maintain proper octane levels to reduce potential detonation. It’s a straightforward, serviceable upgrade among car engine parts that keeps the components of an automobile engine running cleaner over time.
Vehicle Applications
This kit is a direct fit for 2015-2018 BMW M3, 2015-2020 BMW M4 Coupe/Convertible, the 2016 BMW M4 GTS, the 2019-2020 BMW M4 CS, and the 2019-2020 BMW M2 Competition — all built on the F80/F82/F83/F87 chassis around the S55 engine. Two direct-fit hoses and a direct-fit billet aluminum mounting bracket allow installation without any modification to the factory engine cover, and the bracket positions the can in a serviceable location for easy long-term maintenance.
