Keeping the oil inside your engine is extremely important to performance. Between oil change intervals, your oil can dip to dangerous levels if there is a leak you may not be aware of. The valve cover is an extremely common place for this to happen. BMW straight six engines are notorious for leaky valve cover gaskets. Years of exposure to extreme temperature change degrades the gaskets and causes failure. Replace yours to keep your engine oil in your vehicle.

This valve cover gasket set fits the folowwing BMWs with the M54 engine:

E39 525i 530i For vehicles with production date from 09/2002 
E46 325Ci 325i 325Xi 330i 330Ci 330Xi For vehicles with production date from 09/2002 
E53 X5 For vehicles with production date from 09/2002 
E60 525i 530i 
E83 X3
Z4 2.5i 3.0i

Genuine BMW replacement head gasket for the S54. Must be replaced any time the cylinder head is removed or when there are oil or coolant leaks coming from the head gasket.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 BMW M3
2001-2002 Z3 BMW Z3 M Roadster Z3 M Coupe
2006-2008 E85 BMW Z4 M Roadster Z4 M Coupe

When these gaskets leak you'll start to smell oil burning when the engine is hot. Also everything downward from the top of the engine becomes coated in a greasy film.

The valve cover gasket keeps all of the motor oil inside your engine. Your valve train and lifters get soaked with oil to keep everything lubricated. If the valve cover fails, engine oil seeps and leaks out, running down and burning on the block or cylinder head. Replace it and keep your engine compartment clean and tidy with all the engine oil in the motor.

If you are removing your S54 valve cover for valve adjustment, inspection or repairs, you can now get all the gaskets you need in one box.

Included are

Valve cover gasket
Spark plug seals
Nut seals
Grommets
