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

Modern emission regulations require a closed PCV/Breather system for cleaner operation. However, inefficient oil particle capture can lead to excessive oil vapor ingestion, causing carbon buildup, reduced performance, and fuel economy. ECS Tuning's updated ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can, now with an easy-to-empty 1/4" drain fitting, is engineered to collect toxic blow-by gases, minimize carbon deposits, and reduce oil contamination within engine oil. Recirculating oil vapor ensures emissions compliance without venting to the atmosphere.

• Key Features:
• Highly Efficient Oil Separator: Strategically positioned 4 chamber baffle system maximizes oil/air separation and minimizes oil droplets in the intake tract.
• Integrated Dipstick: Knurled and black anodized oil dipstick simplifies oil volume inspection.
• Reservoir: Available in 6oz or 8oz capacity with a 1/4" NPT drain plug fitting.
• Serviceable: Easily removable baffle plates and drain plug for cleaning.
• Easy/Customizable Installation: Combine with the ECS Universal Bracket Kit for simplified installation and adjustable mounting locations.
• Leak-Free Fittings: Machined -10AN ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings available for secure connections (fittings sold separately).

This pulley is mounted along with the hydraulic belt tensioner but can be replaced on its own. It is used for the main drive belt on the M50-M54 family engines (M50, M50TU, M52, S52, M52TU, M54, M56, and S54 engines). This is the same belt that covers the water pump/alternator/power steering systems. Replacement is a very easy procedure (requires fan removal) and will have your engine purring in no time. Belt replacement is strongly recommended at the same time. If you have a mechanical belt tensioner, the pulley can only be replaced with a new tensioner.

This high-quality replacement from Bremmen Parts is designed for exact fitment on your BMW. Whether you're looking to complete much-needed preventative maintenance, or replacing a failed roller, choose this component from Bremmen Parts for a lasting repair.
