    1. How do i select the best oil catch can for my needs? I don't want anything too expensive not something cheap. So what should the best oil catch can be?
    2. Where is the best place in the engine bay to install it and how is that done?

    I'm interested in learning this as well. It's something I've been considering.

    If you have an R56 I can recommend the one from BSH. Simple install.
    This is mine mounted on the drivers side of the firewall.

    What model car are you installing on?

    This is where I located the can on my R53.
