BMW Gaskets, Gasket Sets, Seals, & O-Rings for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Gaskets are key to a properly running and clean engine. They obviously prevent fluid leaks but they're also critical in keeping air either in or out... Air leaks after the air flow meter, also known as vaccum leaks, can induce lean running conditions, fault codes, and poor running conditions. Other seals and gaskets are designed to keep air in. With the sensitivity of OBD systems, leaks will lead to fault codes very quickly which can be tough to diagnose and prevent you from passing state inspections.

We insist on Original BMW or OEM gaskets whenever possible.

The rear main oil seal or crankshaft seals is one of the most difficult to replace. However, they often fail, and when they do, your car will be marking it's territory with little oil drops wherever you park. Apart from making a mess, it can also cause oil to come in contact with the clutch surface. Replace yours and keep your oil in your engine.

This is the replacement for the troublesome oil filter profile gasket on the M50, S50US, M52, S52, M52TU, M54, and S54 engines. The housing is separate from the engine block and in between there is this small profile gasket. The gasket shrinks over time which allows oil to seep out. In our own service shop, it's one of the most common service jobs we perform. One of the other common leak points is the VAN0S oil line and its seals. Since the line comes out with the oil filter housing anyway you might as well replace the line itself or at least the seals. On S54 engines (E46 M3, MZ3, Z4 M) there is a flanged head bolt going into the cylinder head, behind the thermostat cover. This holds the left side timing chain guide rail in place and if it's loose or falls out you could have a very serious engine failure to deal with. Make sure to check this bolt while you're replacing the oil filter housing seal. You only need to make sure it's tight. But if it's come loose you may want to replace the seal ring and use a small touch of oil-resistant thread sealer.

This is the replacement for the troublesome oil filter profile gasket on the M50, S50US, M52, S52, M52TU, M54, and S54 engines. The housing is separate from the engine block and in between there is this small profile gasket. The gasket shrinks over time which allows oil to seep out. In our own service shop, it's one of the most common service jobs we perform. 

One of the other common leak points is the VAN0S oil line and its seals. Since the line comes out with the oil filter housing anyway you might as well replace the line itself or at least the seals. 

On S54 engines (E46 M3, MZ3, Z4 M) there is a flanged head bolt going into the cylinder head, behind the thermostat cover. This holds the left side timing chain guide rail in place and if it's loose or falls out you could have a very serious engine failure to deal with. Make sure to check this bolt while you're replacing the oil filter housing seal. You only need to make sure it's tight. But if it's come loose you may want to replace the seal ring and use a small touch of oil-resistant thread sealer.
