A  leaking N52 oil filter housing gasket can cause a myriad of problems. The most prominent of which is getting oil on your serpentine belt, causing it to shred, get sucked into the engine, and cause catastrophic engine failure. This kit includes everything you need to replace on the car - gasket and bolts, since the bolts are torque to yield (1 time use).

This kit includes:
1 Oil Filter Housing Gasket (11428637821)
1 M8x28 bolt (11427540759)
1 M8x43 bolt (11427540763)
1 M8x78 bolt (11427540758)

Having done quite a few of these jobs, we recommend this E10 1/4" Drive Swivel socket to help get the job done without removing your intake manifold.

This kit is for all N52 engines.

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

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 up to 10/2006 and includes:
 

• 11127581215 - N52 valve cover gasket set
• 11120409288 - N52 aluminum valve cover bolts (1-time use only, not re-usable)
• 11377516302 - N52 Valvetronic gasket
• 11127528242 - N52 eccentric shaft sensor seal

These are all Genuien BMW 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. Over time the seal around the sensor comes loose and oil is allowed to blow out of the cam cover and it eventually finds its way into the sensor (which will eventually 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.
