BMW Engine Parts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Maintaining optimal engine oil levels is crucial for peak performance in your BMW. Leaks can occur between oil change intervals, leading to dangerously low oil levels. The valve cover is a frequent culprit for such leaks due to gasket degradation from years of exposure to temperature fluctuations. Replace your valve cover to ensure the retention of engine oil within your vehicle.

Key benefits of replacing the valve cover include:

• Preventing oil leaks that could lead to low oil levels.
• Preserving engine performance and longevity.
• Avoiding potential engine damage from insufficient oil.

Ensure your BMW's engine operates smoothly by replacing the valve cover to contain the engine oil effectively.

If there is a large amount of oil on the sides of the engine or if you can smell burning oil, chances are it's a bad valve cover gasket. The gasket fails and allows oil to seep down onto the side of the engine and other parts causing a mess and reducing the amount of oil in your engine. This replacement gasket from Elring is perfect to prevent any further oil leaks.

Includes the following Seals:

• Valve cover gasket
• Spark plug seals

Still looking for more power after bolt-ons? High performance camshafts from Schrick are the way to go. These cams are a direct replacement for the stock cams and give a solid 15+ horsepower boost at the top end and great midrange torque increases too! More gains can be expected with intake and header upgrades and custom software tuning. A slightly lumpy idle is expected at cold start but will be smooth once at operating temperature. This set is just a great all-around cam upgrade for the S54!

These Schrick cams were initially developed for the M3 CSL but they also work great on the US and other non-CSL S54 engines as well. With more duration they are a great match to high flow headers, no cats, or CSL intake manifold upgrades. These are the new "cast" cams from Schrick which require new rocker arms (Schrick recommended or BMW part #11337833259). Professional installation is a must due to the intricacies with the double VAN0S.
