This is the replacement main valve cover gasket for M42 and M44 engine used in the E30 318i, E36 318i, and Z3 1.9. This is the outer gasket for the valve cover only. Spark plug hole gaskets and outer grommets are sold separately. While it is a good idea to replace everything, sometimes you just need the valve cover gasket by itself and this item saves you some bucks over a full kit.
