Well, since I have both versions of the N52, I was considering swapping the plastic valve cover with magnesium if I ever need to for the Z4, which a catch can would make more sense rather than retrofitting the BMW unit. So practicing with my metalhead N52 makes sense to me.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
