Crankcase breather is getting blocked, replace it with a BMW one.

thought that might have something to do with, will a clean out do for now till i replace it?

Might as well replace the vortex part and clean the rest of it while its out, only twenty odd quid.

It's cheaper to change the filter now.........unless you have the cash for a new turbo and possibly engine if it runs away on you!

do not use till you have sorted it, or you could be in for a very big bill, even going by taxi if necessary
