Fitment Notes

• Fits BMW F-chassis 2- / 3- / 4-Series models equipped with the N20 or N26 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine only.
• Does NOT fit any BMW model equipped with the Xenon Headlight (adaptive xenon) lighting package - bracket clearance is incompatible with the xenon ballast assembly.
• This is a CCV (crankcase ventilation) side catch can only. It does not include PCV-side coverage. A separate PCV-side kit is required for full dual-circuit crankcase protection.
• Hose clamps are not required and are not included - the direct-fit hoses are designed to connect without clamps.
• Chassis codes: F22, F30, F31, F32, F33, F36.
• Engine codes: N20, N26.
• Mishimoto recommends checking catch can contents every 1,000 miles after installation until a baseline accumulation rate is established. Fluid must not rise above the internal baffle.

Features

• Direct-fit CCV-side baffled oil catch can engineered specifically for BMW F-chassis 2/3/4-Series models with the N20 or N26 2.0L turbocharged engine - no cutting, drilling, or modification required.
• Application-specific CNC-machined lid features inlet and outlet ports sized to precisely match the inner diameter of the factory CCV hose for a leak-free, pressure-matched connection.
• Internal air diverter turbulates incoming crankcase gases for extended contact time inside the can, maximizing oil droplet condensation and separation before gases reach the 50-micron bronze filter.
• 50-micron bronze filter captures remaining oil particles and carbon before clean air exits the outlet and returns to the intake - protecting the intercooler, intake system, and VANOS variable valve timing system.
• Defends the VANOS system specifically - a component especially vulnerable to oil-contaminated blow-by in N20/N26 applications - from oil fouling that can impede timing actuation and reduce performance.
• Permanently traps captured oil, fuel, and water vapor rather than returning it to the oil pan - keeping engine oil viscosity clean and preventing contamination from recirculating blow-by.
• Helps maintain fuel octane integrity in the combustion chamber by preventing fuel-diluted blow-by from recirculating, reducing the risk of detonation in the turbocharged N20/N26.
• Direct-fit hoses install with no modification to the engine cover - no cutting, extending, or rerouting factory components.
• Application-specific mounting bracket positions the catch can in a secure, accessible, serviceable location within the engine bay.
• 3 fl. oz. capacity provides extended service intervals between drains.
• Billet 6061 aluminum can construction - fully cleanable and reusable for the life of the vehicle with no replacement filter elements needed.
• Patent No. US D966,372 S. Backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty. Installation difficulty rated: Medium.

Product Description

The Mishimoto MMBCC-N20N26-12CBE2 is a direct-fit CCV-side baffled oil catch can engineered for the 2012-2017 BMW F-chassis 2/3/4-Series equipped with the N20 or N26 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Both the N20 and N26 use direct fuel injection, which delivers fuel directly into the combustion chamber rather than into the intake runners. While this increases combustion efficiency, it means there is no fuel washing the intake valves - making any oil-contaminated blow-by that reaches the intake especially damaging, as carbon and oil deposits accumulate on the valves and ports with no natural cleaning mechanism. This catch can intercepts blow-by at the CCV circuit before it reaches the intake, trapping oil, carbon, and fuel vapors in the can to be drained at each oil change rather than allowing them to foul intake components, the intercooler, and the VANOS variable valve timing system.

Inside the billet 6061 aluminum can, an internal air diverter forces crankcase gases through a turbulent path that promotes oil droplet condensation, with a 50-micron bronze filter capturing any remaining particulates before clean air exits the outlet. The can lid is CNC-machined with inlet and outlet ports precisely matched to the inner diameter of the factory CCV hose, ensuring a pressure-correct, leak-free connection without requiring custom adapters or hose modifications. Unlike AOS systems that return blow-by to the oil pan - where fuel and water thin the oil and reduce its protective properties - this catch can permanently sequesters everything it captures. At 3 fl. oz. capacity, the can provides extended service intervals, and both the filter and can body are fully cleanable and reusable with no consumable parts.

The included direct-fit hoses connect to the factory CCV circuit with no modification to the engine cover, and the two application-specific mounting brackets position the can in a secure, serviceable location. Importantly, this kit is not compatible with BMW models equipped with the Xenon Headlight (adaptive xenon) lighting package, as the bracket placement conflicts with the xenon ballast assembly - buyers should verify their headlight configuration before ordering. This is also a CCV-side-only kit; owners seeking complete dual-circuit crankcase protection should pair it with the corresponding Mishimoto PCV-side catch can for the N20/N26 platform. Mishimoto recommends inspecting can contents every 1,000 miles until a baseline accumulation rate is established. Covered by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty and carrying patent number US D966,372 S.
