Throttle Body Seal Gasket, Elring - E46 330i, E39 530i, E60 530i, X3/X5 3.0i, Z3/Z4 3.0i

Seal for the throttle body where it bolts to the intake manifold. A leak here will allow unfiltered and unmetered air into the engine. And since vacuum and air pressure within the engine are closely managed, any air leak can be a serious problem. Air leaks can cause your M54 to run rough, poor idle, throttle surging, stumbling, hesitations, and misfires. These can be caused by other things but a leak in the intake can be easily and cheaply fixed.

This is an OEM Throttle Body Seal Gasket for M54 "30i" 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.
