Upper Timing Cover Gasket, Elring - E36, E34, E39, Z3, MZ3, M50, S52

Steel/rubber gasket that seals the front VANOS cover to the cylinder head. Leaks from this gasket are not common but since the gasket deforms when installed it should be replaced any time the cover is removed.

This is an OEM VANOS Steel Gasket for M50/M52/S50US/S52 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.
