Intake Boot Gasket Ring, VR - E46 M3, MZ3 S54

Rubber ring that seals the intake boot to the HFM tube/airbox on the E46 M3 and MZ3 S54. Without this seal in place, the gap allows extra air into the intake which will cause rough idle, stumbling, throttle surging, and likely a lean condition fault and check engine light.

This part is manufactured by an aftermarket supplier of European auto parts, including many gaskets and seals. While not carrying OEM status, this part follows the design of the original very closely and uses similar materials. An aftermarket part may even have the same TUV approval as its OEM counterpart. The brand may even be OEM to another manufacturer besides BMW. This aftermarket brand has a two year warranty - the same as Genuine BMW and OEM brands.
