Hi, I've got a 2001 4.4i X5 and underneath the BMW engine cover there is a pipe coming up into the top of the engine, see picture, it is not connected to anything, is this okay/normal/designed.

Thanks

Rich

    Hey Richard,

    I Love threads like this :lol:

    Possibility I:

    It's a breather tube happily venting away where it is

    Possibility II:

    It is number 12 in this tech-drawing therefore, should be connecting to 14

    Did you mean "13" ?

    Is it venting or sucking with the engine running?
