The BMW S65 is a masterpiece of engineering, but like many factory parts, it isn’t without its weak spots. One of these weak points is the plastic VANOS covers. Over time, these covers can crack, loosen, or even fall off completely. When that happens, bits of plastic can end up in the oil system, clogging the oil pickup and risking catastrophic engine failure.
MMX has stepped in with the ultimate fix. Their upgraded VANOS covers are CNC-machined from high-grade 6062-T6 aluminium, built as a direct replacement for the brittle factory plastics. These covers are designed to last a lifetime and won’t become brittle or fail under heat cycles, unlike the originals. To go a step further, MMX designed them so the internal springs remain fully enclosed, offering added protection and peace of mind that other aftermarket solutions don’t provide.
The best part? Installation is quick, straightforward, and requires no special tools. The covers snap securely into place, with a sleek anodised black finish that looks right at home in any S65 engine bay.
Like all MMX products, these VANOS covers are proudly engineered and manufactured in the UK. Since BMW doesn’t sell the factory covers separately, owners are often stuck replacing the entire VANOS unit at significant cost. MMX offers a smarter, more durable, and enthusiast-approved solution that keeps your S65 protected for the long haul.
