my neighbor has a e39. We tried to look for the ccv for over 1 hr but we couldnt located it lol. Now i look at the pic, i still dont know exactly where it is since the pics are a little blurry. Can someone pin point me where this ccv is? Thanks.
What car/engine?

he has an 02 530i
It's up under the intake.

really? Wow, i thought we were very thorough with the search. My next guess would be under the manifold somewhere.
we removed the intake box but nothing ..
Not the filter box, over next to the engine under the intake manifold.

For the most part all you have to do is follow the oil dip stick up and it should split the part that splits goes to the bottom of the ccv, most of the time im not sure about the v8
i just started to get code p0305
bad idle and misses up to 2000 rpm and then it goes away.
come back when below it
and after a short while the engine will just start to run fine with no issue.
and the cel will also go out
there sounds like there is a vacuum leak under the hood as well as strange unburned gas type at the rear. no smoke though....
could this ccv be the issue?
sorry im dragging up a old thread but better than starting a new one
damn i dont get it, i have a 98 528i as well, and my ccv is like directly under the intake manifold... theres nothing at all on mine in the location where yours is.. wth?
and mines from 1/1998

Do you know where will be located on a 530i 2006?
I can't believe it honestly takes people over 2 hours to 4 or more to change a ccv valve.
I did mine in two hours and even replaced the non cold climate type with a cold climate type as well as the lines to cold climate including the dip stick tube and this was my first time.
My ccv was fine but the dipstick tube drain from the ccv was plugged, I was able to clear the plug but figured might as well replace it.
Whole job was done in 2 hours. Hardest part was installing the cold climate valve, the insulation makes it a tighter fit.
It's not rocket science, remove the air cleaner, maf, rubber elbow to the throttle body, remove the disa, remove the throttle body, disconnect ccv lines from the valve cover, intake and dipstick drain. remove the two torx screws from the ccv. Easier to actually break the lines off the ccv to get it out.
Found it easier to not install any lines on the replacement ccv, one of the lines actually requires that you rotate it to remove and install. However I found if you spray the o-rings with silicone they'll all easily press on, just listen for the click.
Prior to changing the ccv my oil consumption was about a quart every 500 miles, and I was only able to get about 350 miles on a tank of gas.
Since changing the ccv oil consumption has gone to near zero and now I can get about 500 miles on a tank of fuel at a constant speed of 85 to 90mph, combined city and highway about 400 miles. Not bad for an m54 e39 and a driver who has a heavy right foot.
Now I have to change the upstream o2 sensor that got contaminated because of the excessive oil in the intake from the plugged ccv drain line.
Total cost of parts, cold climate ccv with all the cold climate lines was $106 (oembimmerparts), cold climate dip stick tube was about $80 (ecs).
