Based on the heat I have experienced coming off those turbos, I'd be worried about the paint on my hood.
My mech said the same thing re: the heat...it would likely bubble the paint on the hood.
As long as no hot parts are touching the hood, the paint should not bubble

Does anyone know if the X6 hood with the power dome add any space for additional air circulation, or is the bottom side of the hood the same? I've been thinking of ways to lower engine temps.

Decided to be proactive and take a look, and sure enough, mine has a very small hairline fracture. I checked and my local dealer has the replacements for $30, in stock. So, will pick that up tomorrow and replace it. I'm at 36K miles.

Mine was just replaced at 26k miles. The high engine bay temps on the M appear to be tough on plastic and rubber bits. I've been heating our rather large garage this winter by popping the hood open when I come home from work.

Yep, I can agree with you. Pulling our X into the garage heat soaks our air handler unit, forcing the A/C to run even more. So, I've taught (and quietly insisted) my wife to back the X into the garage from now on. It helps, but not a ton. Come summer time I'll have to leave it outside for a few hours to cool off before pulling in.

Hope this helps for those of you searching for parts.

Also I wonder how hard it would be to make a oil catch can for our cars, it would completely eliminate this issue
Did they notice your down pipes and exhaust ? Also were they able to know that your vehicle was tuned?!

Mine went bad a while ago...part costed me like 30 bucks from the dealer, repair shop discount, changed it in all of 5 minutes without any tools. very easy fix. Noticed when my car started making a whistling sound when spooling up. opened the cover saw the hose was cracked, leaking a little oil. Swapped it and no issues since. Crack wasnt big enough to throw a CEL, just noticed something was wrong and did it myself

Calgary BMW, I actually requested for a specific tech to work on my car, but I have no idea if that actually happened or not since the work order never specified the name of the tech but just the tech number

Thanks to this Forum I got a quick answer. Started car today...rough idle and continued after warm. I searched forum and found this thread, looked under my hood and yep, same cracked hose. Car under warranty but part not in stock at local BMW so I ordered at getbmwparts. I'll use some good tape temporarily.

Helpful thread, 32k miles and noticed oil residue buildup in this area. This was the culprit, ordered up 2 hose kits and will keep 1 in the trunk as a spare

Mine has oil pooling underneath these hoses as well. Is this something the mechanic has to do or can I replace this cracked hose? Any BMW part number I can order from the parts counter?

How to remove the vacuum hose connectors

Hello,
I have an X6M 2013, and my hose is cracked in half. 30,000 miles. I did buy the replacement though. Thanks to everyone on the thread. How do you remove the end connectors? They are a bit weak, so I don't want to break the new ones.
Thanks,

So I just smoke tested my truck (each intake, one at a time and the vacuum canister) and as best I can tell I've got no leaks. Oddly enough smoke didn't come out of the connecting line, but oil weeping from it gave it away as it had collected on that bridge over the turbos. I've wrapped it in duct tape, but has anyone gone through with the idea of replacing it with a silicone line or a rubber line instead?

I replaced the connecting line last week, since mine was cracked. Was driving the truck today and it started running really rough. Scanned the codes, ended up pulling code P112F. Looked everything over, started taking the car apart to try and identify the issue. Found that the passenger side connecting line broke clean off. I'm just gonna replace all of them now... I guess the plastic is old and brittle now.

I had lose tubes feeding into the turbos themselves, ends up the gaskets have been updated and made thicker. Oddly enough when I replaced the tubes mentioned below, I got extra gaskets that go into the turbos, so if anyone needs them, let me know.

Both of my PCV pipes were weeping oil as well when I bought the vehicle, which BMW has since upgraded to a newer part number. I broke them more trying to remove them, but it's fine since I had the new ones.

Having this happen to me now, so far the above mentioned pipe, the bank 2 1 way valve pipe linking intake to pcv system and the pipe on bank 1 from manifold to pcv system. All this in 3 days. I am unsure how to do one from manifold on bank 1 though. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I've thought about replacing some of the plastic lines with rubber ones last time around but then started wondering if the vacuum would cause the rubber lines to collapse (*not sure if there is enough vacuum to do this*), thus cutting air off completely.

On a side note. Had misfiring and limp mode when pushing engine past 2500 RPM. Driving normally and keeping the RPMs under 2500 no issues, as soon as I go past 2500, car starts lurching and eventually goes into limp mode. I get Injector 6 & 7 codes but I don't think that's the issue.

Maybe vacuum pump? Any thoughts?

Car is in the shop for 8 days, tech fried my FRM while updating the DME, parts on back order. Somehow can't perform smoke test unless car get's into ON position...and need ON position so they can control valves in the vacuum system (*won't go to ON position with fried FRM?).

Just kicking ideas around while waiting...any suggestions?
