If I have the cold package does that mean I have the 'cold weather ccv' I have read about here or is that too logical?
From everything I have read the answer is 'no' but thought I'd check with the experts. From what I have gathered the Cold Pkg has never been about mechanical changes no matter the model.
Car was originally sold in Maryland if that makes a difference.

It does not. That package is for the heated front seats and rear folding seats. Also gives you headlight washers. A cold CCV kit usually has to replace the existing CCV. The cold kit has insulated hoses. Good question though. I would think that to be logical too.

Cold weather package and a cold weather ccv is two different things.
OEM CCV for the cold weather with insulated hoses

Thanks! I knew I could count on a good quick answer from the familia.
I'm putting together my maintenance list so I wanted to make sure I include all possiblities to know what to budget for.

When I did my CCV I went ahead with the cold CCV in case I kept the car in blacksburg or for whoever the next owner was in case the car went north.

Is replacing the dipstick tube necessary though?
Big Earner
No I don't believe so. Can't remember if I did mine or not though

I'm planning to replace my CCV with the cold weather version, though cannot be sure if my CCV was replaced before or not (being the 4th or 5th owner of my car). Do not plan to replace dipstick tube but will order the O-ring and probably remove dipstick to make sure it's not clogged with anything, and to make it easier to R&R the CCV. Saw a great 3-part DIY video series on YouTube, created by Bav Auto. Here's part 1.
My problem is I'm piling up project and maintenance parts faster than I can put them on the car! Have diff bushings, rear control arm bushings, oil pan gasket, new stainless brake lines, and rear brake caliper rebuild kits. Now thinking of adding to my spare parts collection with a CCV cold weather kit!

No but it's part of the BMW bulletin so it is highly recommended.
