{"product_id":"bmw-crankcase-vent-pipe-2","title":"Original BMW Crankcase Vent Vacuum Pipe for BMW 2, 3, 4, 5 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5, and Z4 (2012–2018)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBMW's small vacuum pipe, part 11-15-7-603-816, is a genuine engine pipe sold here as a crankcase vent pipe for N20 and N26 four-cylinder BMW models from 2012–2018, including the 228i, 320i, 328i, 428i, 528i, X1, X3, X4, X5 xDrive40e, and Z4 sDrive28i. A crankcase ventilation system takes the blow-by gas that collects inside the crankcase and routes it back into the intake to burn as part of the normal charge, which keeps pressure from building up and pushing past the engine seals. Hoses and pipes in that system work in heat, oil vapor, and pressure, so they age and need replacing. This pipe weighs only 28 g, and BMW has produced it since March 2011. It is made in Poland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne part number covers a wide spread of chassis. BMW's parts data applies it to the F22 2 Series, F30 sedan and F34 Gran Turismo 3 Series, F32 and F36 4 Series, F10 5 Series, E84 X1, F25 X3, F26 X4, F15 X5, and E89 Z4. Every application uses the N20 turbocharged four-cylinder or its N26 variant, so the engine is the deciding factor rather than the body. Plastic vent fittings become brittle with heat and oil exposure, and their clips or connectors break easily during removal or during nearby service work, which is a common reason to have a replacement on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW, Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-15-7-603-816\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: Vacuum pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 28 g (0.99 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: March 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngines: N20 and N26 four-cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Poland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does BMW call this a vacuum pipe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVacuum pipe is BMW's official name for this part number.
