Isn’t there a newer “M” model? Or is this one the latest revision

You should just replace it yourself and avoid possibly getting flagged at your dealership.
BL is the newest revision for the R and S3. M was the older revision and it's the newest revision for the GTI. The BL is better and fits the GTI. This is my understanding.
BL has stopped my cars smoke show on track. I'll also be adding a CC and better baffled oil pan in time though.

Good to know.
It's difficult to keep up with the production differences. I seem to have thought (even in my own searches), that the higher the LETTER / the NEWER it was; apparently that is not the case. Thanks for the clarification.

What does it matter if he's flagged now or later?
For you guys wo have messed around with the BL and BM PCVs.... is there a way to physically tell them apart, installed on the engine? 2017 Audi S3, I'm curious as to which one I'm running. I've looked at the both PN pics with like 1000000x zoom, but they appear to be basically identical on the top side.

ECS site usually has good and correct pics of stuff, so that's what I'm basing it on:
BM: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-volkswagen-audi-parts/separator/06k103495bm/
BL: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-volkswagen-audi-parts/separator/06k103495bl/
On the underside, BM has some sort of opening at the 'front', with a big baffle/shield in place. BL has a rubber check valve thingy of sorts and opening towards the 'rear' of the part. I think the theory was, the oil surge issue under heavy braking was more pronounced with the BM version....maybe related to that opening on the front side of the engine.
AP and BM appear to be of the same series/design or whatever.

It so confusing nowadays. I called the local vw part stockist n check against my vin number, their system show BM is the latest.
Not sure if any difference between Gti from different region as mine is mk7.5 with MPI made in Germany.
What about R vs Gti...
Pretty sure the number is on the pcv itself, remember looking at my '19 R and seeing I had BL and putting it out of mind.

Well, if he gets flagged later, between now and then, he can get the minor stuff covered under warranty that doesn't require them to scan his ecu.
