Head Gasket with Cutting Rings, Elring - 2002, 2000CS

This is BMW part number 11120035273 (11 12 0 035 273) and is described by BMW as a head gasket for M10 engines used in 2002, 2002tii, 2002 Turbo, 2000CS models. BMW has several gaskets available: original thickness for non-machined cylinder head and thicker gaskets if the head has been machined. This is the original thickness gasket.

This gasket also features cut rings. As the head is torqued to the block these rings bite into the aluminum head and add extra strength to resist a blown gasket. These are a very common upgrade for turbocharged engines.

This is an OEM Head Gasket for 2002 engines manufactured by Elring Klinger - an original supplier to BMW for many gaskets and seals. As an OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
