This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 11141725994 (11-14-1-725-994) and is described as Genuine BMW Front Crankshaft Seal (55X72X10) for E32/E38 750iL (1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001) and E31 850Ci, 850CSi (1991-1997). These are the models of BMW with the M70 or M73 V12 engine.
If your BMW's V12 engine is leaking oil through the front lower timing cover, you should check your front crank seal. This seal is specific to the M70 and M73 12 cylinder engines, and if failed can create a dangerous oil leak that could lead to a low oil situation, as well as a general mess under your car and in your driveway.
This is the Genuine BMW replacement part, so you can be assured you're getting the highest quality seal with the longest lifespan, built to BMW's exactly specifications for these incredible V12 powerplants.
