Top End Gasket Set, Victor Reinz - E39 540i, E38 740i, E53 X5 4.4i/4.6is M62TU

Head gaskets are NOT included with this kit. See below for links.

BMW puts these gasket sets together to aid in replacing the head gaskets on the M62TU engine in the 1999+ E39 540i, E38 740i, and E53 X5 4.4i/4.6is.

Instead of buying only the head gaskets, this kit includes all of the other gaskets and seals needed to do the job. It also makes a great overhaul kit for any top end work such as resolving coolant leaks or valley pan gaskets, and more. See the complete list below. Note that BMW put this kit together to fit multiple years and models and some extra parts may be included that you won't use. Additional parts such as the head gaskets, head bolts, other hardware, sensors, and hoses are sold separately.

Symptoms of head gasket failure include: white residue (tapioca) in the valve cover, under the oil filler cap, and in drained oil, low coolant (not caused by failure in cooling system), low oil, oil leak onto exhaust manifold, and loss of power from loss of compression. Cooling system trouble on the M62 must be addressed quickly as the aluminum heads are easily damaged if overheating occurs.

This gasket set is manufactured by an aftermarket supplier of European auto parts, including many gaskets and seals. While not carrying OEM status, this part follows the design of the original very closely and uses similar materials. An aftermarket part may even have the same TUV approval as its OEM counterpart. The brand may even be OEM to another manufacturer besides BMW. This aftermarket brand has a two year warranty - the same as Genuine BMW and OEM brands.
