This high quality replacement Valve Cover kit offers a substantial value, especially when compared to the factory BMW part number 11127552281 (11-12-7-552-281). This kit installs and functions just like the Genuine kit, but at a substantial cost savings without compromising longevity or quality. 

If your 2007 or newer N52 or N51 powered BMW is in need of a valve cover gasket replacement, you should be aware the factory valve cover is a composite (plastic) design, unlike older engine designs which use an aluminum valve cover. This means that with age, mileage, and thousands of heat cycles, the plastic valve cover will become brittle and frail, and will likely develop cracks. It's for this reason that BMW recommends replacing the complete valve cover assembly with new gaskets and seal rings, rather than just replacing the gasket as you might on earlier BMW engines. 

This particular valve cover and gasket kit is a premium aftermarket version which we at BimmerWorld found to be of an impressive manufacturing quality.  This can be used to replace the valve cover on all E9X 328i (including E90, E91, E92 and E93 328i and 328xi models), E82/E88 128i, E60 528i (2006-2010), E70 X5 3.0si (2007-2013), E83 X3 (2006-2010), E85 Z4 30si (2006-2008), E89 Z4 30si (2009-2014), and F10 528i (2011-2013) - all with the N51/N52 BMW engine. It comes fully loaded with all the part needed for a valve cover gasket service on the N52 and N51 SULEV engines. 

Valve cover and valve cover gasket failure is quite common on these cars. It usually happens right around 100k miles, though its been known to strike earlier. Are you getting a smell of burning oil while driving or while idling at a drive-thru with your windows down? This may be due to your valve cover gasket weeping oil onto your hot exhaust manifold. Not only does this risk running your BMW low on oil, it's also known to start engine fires and safety concerns.  

Note on E60/E61 5 Series and first generation X3 (E83) : For N51/N52 engine only, as used on 2006 model years and newer. Not for cars prior to the 2006 model year, as these cars used the older (M54) engine design. 

Note on E85/E86 Z4 3.0i & 3.0si models: Only for model year 2007 and 2008. Not for 2006 Z4. Z4 models produced before 10/2006 use a metal valve cover.
