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.
This is the seal located underneath the valve securing bolts. We recommend replacing these any time the valve cover has to be removed in order to ensure a proper oil-tight seal.
Valve covers can crack or warp over time, leading to vacuum and oil leaks. This can cause check engine lights, a rough idle, and can make a mess, often covering the attached engine accessories in oil. If your valve cover has cracked or warped, we recommend replacing it with this aftermarket valve cover assembly. This replacement valve cover comes with new gaskets, BMW p/n 11129797205 and 11127617411, and new mounting hardware to attach the valve cover to the cylinder head.

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 Meistersatz is perfect to prevent any further oil leaks.
