Original BMW S63 Engine Vent Pipe for Cylinders 5–8, BMW E70 X5 M and E71 X6 M (2010–2014)

Part of the crankcase ventilation system on the S63 V8, this Original BMW vent pipe serves cylinders 5 through 8 on the E70 X5 M and E71 X6 M. BMW calls it the vent pipe and marks it for cylinders 5–8. It weighs 44 g and is sold individually. Production began in July 2009, ahead of the first X5 M and X6 M model year. This pipe is made in the Czech Republic. A crankcase ventilation system routes blow-by gas from the crankcase back into the intake to be burned, so the vent lines have to stay sealed to keep that air metered.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The bank marking matters. This number covers cylinders 5–8 only, so the pipe for the other bank is a separate part. Heat, pressure, and oil vapor wear these lines over time. Brittle connectors and clips can also crack during removal or while other engine work is underway.

Common Questions

What happens if this vent pipe cracks?
A cracked or leaking pipe lets in unmetered air. That can set a check engine light for an intake leak and, in severe cases, cause rough running or a misfire.

Does this fit a regular X5 xDrive50i?
No. BMW applies it only to the S63-powered X5 M and X6 M.

Is this for both cylinder banks?
No. It covers cylinders 5–8 only.

PMB carries this S63 vent pipe for X5 M and X6 M owners.
