The valve cover is responsible for sealing the internal workings of the engines' top end. Most vehicles require a replacement gasket at some point or another and newer models have plastic valve covers that get brittle and crack with age.

The stock plastic valve cover from BMW tends to warp and crack over time due to numerous heat cycles. This leads to oil and vacuum leaks that both make a mess and negatively affect performance and reliability. Replace your stock valve cover with this aluminum upgrade from Bremmen Parts to eliminate these issues! The aluminum construction results in a significantly stronger valve cover that won't warp or crack. This kit contains everything you need to upgrade your cover, including the upgraded aluminum valve cover, valve cover gasket, oil cap, and hardware. Additionally, we've also included a new PCV blow-by hose and a Vargas PCV upgrade for additional reliability! This is especially important for tuned vehicles with upgraded turbos.

Not only will this kit stop most E90 oil leaks, it's the perfect addition for ignition coil or spark plug replacement! Oil leaks - and the damage they can cause - seem to be the worst annoyances on these cars. The biggest source of an oil leak is from the valve cover, followed by the oil filter housing, Valvetronic seal, camshaft seals, and the eccentric shaft sensor seal. Once the oil leaks, and if ignored for an extended time, the oil will contaminate vital electrical sensors. This is especially the case with ignition coils and also the eccentric shaft sensor on the Valvetronic shaft at the top of the cylinder head. During any ignition coil and spark plug replacement take a close look inside for any oil pooling at the bottom. We have been seeing valve cover oil leaks as soon as 40,000 miles. We look for oil leaks on every E90 that comes into our shop.

We have put together this package of valve cover gaskets and other related gaskets and seals for you to fully overhaul the N52 valve cover and put a stop to those pesky oil leaks. This package has the replacement parts for N52 engines built from the 2007 model year and includes:

  • 11127582245 - N52 valve cover gasket set
  • 11127552280 - N52 eccentric shaft sensor seal
  • 11127559699 - N52 Valvetronic gasket

2007 and later N51/N52 engines do not need replacement valve cover bolts, unless the bolts are actually broken off or missing. Unlike the 2006 aluminum hardware, the later parts are steel and not 1-time use.

These are all OEM or OE parts. Replacement of these gaskets and seals is straight-forward but a long process. BMW dealers typically charge for over eight hours of labor. If you have replaced spark plugs before you should be capable of this repair. In addition, there are several other parts to replace while you're in the vicinity: camshaft sensor o-rings, oil filter housing profile gasket, VAN0S solenoids, and the eccentric shaft sensor. These other parts, except the eccentric shaft sensor (see below), are replaceable without removing the valve cover but are more easily accessed during the valve cover work.

Eccentric Shaft Sensor: This is the position sensor that relays the eccentric shaft's position back to the DME. It's located at the front of the engine and is only accessible with the valve cover off . The seal around the sensor can fail and allow oil to blow out from under the cam cover. Oil can then leak into the sensor itself and cause it to fail. Without a functioning sensor your E90 can experience poor running, hesitation, poor performance, jerky shifts, and sluggish response. It's easy to check and see if oil has accumulated inside the sensor: unbolt the engine trim cover (the outer cover with the BMW roundel), unplug the sensor, and look inside. If oil is present inside or even around the sensor itself, plan on replacing this sensor during your next ignition coil, spark plug, and/or valve cover gasket work.

This valve cover kit fits the following BMWs:

Maintaining the peak performance and reliability of your BMW N52 engine is essential for a smooth and enjoyable driving experience. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by replacing critical components like the valve cover, crankcase vent hose, angle connector with heating element, and cylinder sleeve. In this article, we'll delve into the numerous benefits of upgrading these vital parts, ensuring your BMW N52 operates at its best. Optimized Engine Performance: Replacing the valve cover, crankcase vent hose, angle connector, and cylinder sleeve enhances your BMW N52's engine performance. The valve cover plays a crucial role in sealing the engine, preventing oil leaks and ensuring optimal valve operation. When you upgrade these components, you reduce the risk of performance-robbing oil leaks and maintain precise valve timing, resulting in improved horsepower and torque. Enhanced Reliability: Reliability is paramount for any BMW owner. These components, when aged or damaged, can lead to severe engine issues. By replacing them, you significantly reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns or costly repairs, ensuring your BMW N52 engine runs smoothly and reliably for years to come. Improved Fuel Efficiency: An efficiently operating engine not only performs better but also consumes less fuel. The replacement of these components leads to better combustion, reduced emissions, and ultimately improved fuel efficiency. This means fewer trips to the gas station and a lighter environmental footprint. Reduced Maintenance Costs: Regular maintenance and repairs can add up over time. By proactively replacing the valve cover, crankcase vent hose, angle connector, and cylinder sleeve, you mitigate the risk of more extensive engine damage that could lead to expensive repairs down the road. In the long term, this can translate into significant cost savings. Extended Engine Lifespan: The longevity of your BMW N52 engine is directly tied to the quality and condition of its components. When you invest in high-quality replacements, you're effectively extending the lifespan of your engine. This not only preserves the value of your BMW but also allows you to enjoy its performance for years to come. Precise Temperature Control: The angle connector with heating element is vital for maintaining optimal engine temperature, especially in cold weather. A malfunctioning or worn-out connector can disrupt temperature control, affecting engine performance. Replacing this component ensures consistent and precise temperature management. Customized Upgrades: When replacing these components, you have the opportunity to choose high-performance or specialized alternatives, allowing you to customize your BMW N52 to your preferences. Whether you prioritize power, efficiency, or specific driving conditions, there are options available to tailor your engine's performance accordingly. Included in the BMW N52 Valve Cover & PCV Valve Refresh Kit: 6 Cylinder Sleeves 1 Alternator Mounting Screw Set 1 Angle Connector with Heating Element 1 Valve Cover - Gasket Included 1 Crankcase Vent Hose
