Oil Catch can kit?

Is there a oil catch can kit made for 2009 z4 cars?

I did see one for BMS however heard you need to modify some of the tubes to make it fit correctly. any suggestions in purchasing a oil catch can or other solutions?

You can order the BMS one from N54tuning and select the 5 series hoses. That one includes a nice U-bend hose that helps to locate it in a nice spot for our cars. Then you will need a different mount for it. I found this one referenced in another thread here and just installed it a few weeks ago, worked great!

Here is the thread where it is mentioned.

Perfect thanks for the links, did you need to change some of the tubing or anything or all the necessary tubing fits with no modification other than mounting it?

You will have to modify one of the OEM tubes, this is outlined in the install instructions. Then for mounting the can on the driver side brace, I had to add a few inches of tube onto the U-bend tube. All the extra tubing and the tube splice connector came with my kit from N54tuning.

i use the BMS catch can. the mount had to be modified to fit over the thicker Z4 strut brace.
