These valves have differences gen1 or gen2. .
These valves have differences gen1 or gen2. To do this, you need to check the software version in the engine block. Pay attention to this. If you install the wrong system, it will not work as it should.

The Hose Ends Rotate
In the end, these parts fit my 2002 E46 perfect. At first however, I thought one of the hose ends was off by 180 degrees. I was pushing/pulling with so much force to get them lined up that I thought I was going to snap the parts. They’re not as flexible as they look. Finally after about 20-mins of messing around, the end of one of the hose fittings actually rotated. They’re so stiff that they look and feel like they’re formed from one pieces, but that’s not true. So if you need to, carefully try to rotate the hose ends, they’ll be stiff, but they’ll rotate. I would even spray WD-40 on them next time.I gave this product a 5-star because in the end my car is running great and the parts fit fine at an awesome price. However, If I could, I would give the engineers at BMW a zero star for the design and ease of replacement.

Solved all the dreaded E46 vacuum leaks
I replaced it on my 2004 E46 convertible, 8,000 miles later no issues. I am knocking one star off because they were a little harder to snap in than the originals. But this will take care of most of your vacuum codes

Works for 2001 525i
I installed this on my 2001 525i and everything matched up just like it should!Not exactly the easiest job. It is recommended that you pull the intake manifold but I was able to do it without doing so. It just made it a bit more difficult to run a couple of the hoses but I made it work.Overall, can't beat the price!

O-rings are too large to allow for reasonable fitment
I ordered the non OEM kit for replacing the oil separator and vacuum pcv system on Amazon. It It was around 30 bucks, and I figured, hey, why not? Some of the people on the reviews mentioned o-rings that didn't fit, and that there was an inability to push them into the tube openings.In the process of taking the original pcv tubing apart, I realized that the quick connect convenience that they offered suffered substantially over the last 18 years.Trying to push the new fittings into the old tubes was absolutely impossible. Silicone lubricant, heat, muscle. NOTHING was going to make those tubes with the o-rings go into those old tubes.Since these ARE just vacuum tubes, I decided to make a move, since the so-called customer service for the Amazon vendor TOTALLY dropped the ball on any repair assistance correspondence.I took out the o-rings completely, and applied RTV sealant in the places where the o-ring would have made contact. Pressed the tubes in without much resistance, and... voila! Sealed, connected tubes, still clicked in with the fastener!I put everything back together, and I'm rolling down the road. Smooth as silk.So, someone might say that it's going to be a mess to get these apart if I need to service them in the future. My response is, I've NEVER been able to successfully disconnect or reconnect these tubes before, and I can't see any occasion that I would need to. And, if I DID, I'd tear off the RTV and apply another bead for reconnecting. RTV is cheap.Any objections to this method? I used an RTV that was safe for sensors,and I feel confident that it's not obstructing anything. And it's working perfectly

Don't worry things fit very well
I was worried about negative comments about the fitting of the product. I did not have any of these problems. All the pipes were the same length and everything snap fit together. Also there were no problems with o rings being too big. I hit them upWith a little lube to make them come together.I did my assembly with the engine out of the car because it was a swap. This made things very easy and can see it would be more difficult when the engine is in the car. It might explain why some had size problems.

Not bad. Read my review. Its good advice I think. Lol
Yes easy to install if and that's a big IF you take off your intake manifold. If you've done this a time or two you can manage to do it with out. I just like to go the extra mile and make my life easier. Also I replaced every O-ring and gasket on the right side of engine down to the oil filter housing gasket. If your spending money and time on it. Mine as well do it right the first time and spend like an extra 25 bucks for the extra seals and gaskets and not have to take it all apart again months later when the next leak or issue happens.
