    :cornut: Welcome to MA. Congratulations on your lovely wife's Blue R56. 1st mod for y'all's peace of mind:biggrin5:. Get a BSH Oil Catch Can and BSH Dual Boost Tap to catch all crank case blow by/pcv fumes and prevent costly intake valve carbon build up:Thumbsup:. You're a good husband by the way and I'm an expert. I've been a husband 3 times.:crazy::lol:

    :cornut: Where I got mine was from our very own DOS(defenders of speed). Just go to the 'sponsor's list' above, bring it down and do that'computer stuff' to get to DOS. Remember, to catch all of that nasty 'Dinosaur Snot'(crank case blow by/pcv fumes), get BOTH the BSH Oil Catch Can AND the BSH Dual Boost Tap. Please mention being a member of MA as there could be a discount(I don't know but maybe). You also get a free syringe to evacuate the OCC. I personally have nothing to do with DOS but, they're good people who take care of us MINIacs. The other computer questions I'll have to leave to the experts as I'm computer challenged:blush2::lol:. Welcome Again and Good Luck!:Thumbsup:

    Jason
    PS My Margi is an 08 R56 BRG MCS/JCWm so our MINIs are very similar.
