Oil Catch Can?

Sorry in advance if this has already been discussed, but nothing came up in my searches.
I took delivery of my wife's 2020 X5 xDrive40i a couple weeks ago.
Does this platform benefit from the use of an oil catch can?

I run them in my current and past vehicles, but don't see much out there about running one on current X5 models.

We plan to keep this car for a while so I am up for any possible preventative measures.

I had one on my 340 which had the b58 motor. I checked it every few thousand miles and it was never a significant amount of oil in can. I do not think it is necessary unless you start pushing high boost levels.

ANY vehicle with 1. direct injection and 2. forded induction benefits from a well made AOS (air oil separator) or "baffled" OCC (oil catch-can). Keep in mind, not all OCC's are created equal. You need to consider size, internal configuration, it needs to be baffled, and how restrictive it is to crankcase pressure.

Nothing that's worth doing in the first 4 years.

No reason to own a modern BMW past its warranty period. Enjoy it and trade it in after the warranty expires.

From my understanding these B58's are BMW's most reliable and stout I6's ever built.
