I found the separator from a 240D was helpful in reducing oil consumption. Made a long (2000 mile) trip without it and wish I had something all the way.
I was venting the cam cover and had some blowby under the car that also attracted attention when I went to the airport to pick someone up, the security cop tried to tell me there was smoke coming from my engine and I told her not to worry, blah blah.
picture of the K&N setup on the '85 engine, the 240D separator is just visible to the rear, and note the hose from it to a Tee I placed in the front of the K&N for suction:
