Description
The Mishimoto BMW N55 Baffled Oil Catch Can (MPN: MMBCC-N55-11CBE2) is purpose-built for BMW’s N55 direct-injection engine, where carbon build-up is a well-known headache. Rather than a generic universal catch can, this kit borrows proven engineering from the Mishimoto 2-Port Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can — including a bronze filter and internal baffle — and pairs it with a CNC-machined lid featuring large inlet and outlet ports sized to match the N55’s CCV hose exactly.
As one of the key car engine parts that protects the rest of your intake tract, this baffled oil catch can intercepts oil-laden crankcase vapors before they reach sensitive components. Unlike most air-oil-separator systems, Mishimoto’s catch cans are unheated, so oil vapor, low-octane vapor, and contaminated fuel vapor all condense inside the can instead of draining back into the oil pan. By trapping blow-by permanently rather than recirculating it, this component helps defend the intercooler, intake system, and VANOS system, while helping maintain proper octane levels to reduce potential detonation — a smart addition to any discussion of the components of an automobile engine and how automobile combustion byproducts are managed.

This Mishimoto catch can is a direct fit for the 2011–2013 BMW 335i, 2011–2013 BMW 335i xDrive, and 2011–2013 BMW 135i, as well as the 2013 BMW 135is. The kit’s application-specific bracket and hoses are engineered around these N55-equipped chassis, so installation requires no modification to the engine cover.
