Description
The Mishimoto Baffled Oil Catch Can Kit (MMBCC-F80-15CMW) is purpose-built for the S55-powered BMW M3 and M4 platform, giving these turbocharged compact M cars a dedicated defense against crankcase blow-by. Built around Mishimoto’s patent-pending 2-Port Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can, this kit pairs a 50-micron bronze filter with an internal baffle and air diverter to pull oil out of crankcase vapors before they can reach sensitive engine components. A CNC-machined lid with inlet and outlet ports sized to match the CCV hose, plus a direct-fit billet aluminum mounting bracket, make this catch can as easy to live with as it is effective.
Blow-by is a fact of life in any car engine, but on a turbocharged car engine like the S55 it can quickly foul the intercooler, intake system, and VANOS system with oil residue. This baffled oil catch can traps that oil before it recirculates through other engine parts, helping maintain proper octane levels and reduce the risk of detonation. Unlike many air-oil-separator systems that drain condensed blow-by back into the oil pan, Mishimoto’s catch can keeps it permanently sealed away in a serviceable, twist-off billet aluminum can, so contaminated fuel vapors and low-octane oil never make it back into the crankcase. For enthusiasts researching parts of a car engine or shopping for dependable car engine parts to protect a turbocharged BMW, this catch can kit addresses one of the more overlooked components of an automobile engine.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto catch can kit is a direct fit for the S55-powered F8X chassis: the 2015-2018 BMW M3, the 2015-2020 BMW M4 Coupe and Convertible, the 2016 BMW M4 GTS Coupe, the 2019-2020 BMW M4 CS Coupe, and the 2019-2020 BMW M2 Competition. It covers the F80, F82, F83, and F87 chassis codes equipped with the S55 engine, and the included direct-fit hoses and bracket require no modification to the engine cover on any of these applications.
