1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2015

Ccv (crank case ventilation) system froze leading to vcg (valve cover gasket) failure. BMW issued a sib for this in 2009 so they acknowledged the problem and revised the parts for cold weather climates. Unfortunately I am way out of warranty and this is out of pocket at $1000++. This was/is a design flaw because I had the cold weather ccv and it still failed. They blame it on not getting the vehicle up to operating temperature due to short trips! ridiculous on what was a $54k car when new.
