    G.A.S. CCV Replacement is in early release!

    Without an update for years, I figured this was dead in the water. Just happened to be on their site today and saw that they actually updated the product page.

    Almost three years in development, German Auto Solutions' very unique replacement for the problem prone BMW M54 CCV is now in limited production and should be available for sale soon..

    The GAS replacement CCV incorporates multiple new design features to make it the most effective product of its kind at recovering oil from the engine's blow by gasses. The G.A.S. CCV is also fully serviceable to allow easy five minute cleaning at every oil change.

    Click to find out more information about this incredible product.
    I was skeptical at first, but after going through all of the details, I'm on board (if the price is reasonable).

    And look how pretty!

    Interesting. I didn't even know they had a solution for this in the works. It looks like a serious piece of hardware, I wouldn't hold my breath on it being cheap, but hopefully it is reasonable...

    I'm definitely more worried about the price now...

    I saw this bit earlier and thought, "Oh, good. It'll be around $175. That would be very reasonable."

    The German Auto Solutions CCV system will be priced similar to a complete OEM system, be mounted on top of the stock oil filter housing and will replace the factory oil filter cap.
    But then I went back and saw this elsewhere in their update:

    Replacing the CCV can be an entire day job and cost up to $320.00 depending on how much of the system you replace.
    I'm placing my bet at their opening price being $349 and me not being so interested anymore.

    That's not too bad, especially for people in the colder states/areas. They have to cover over 3 years of R&D. :D

    I'd actually consider it depending on price. I'd wager my CCV is not in the best condition since a lot of my drives around Portland are less than 15 minutes. But I do agree, it doesn't look very stock/clean. The new CCV / Pilot O2 mod seems like the fall back, or a catch can.
