Engine Valve Cover with Gaskets and Bolts, Fit for 3.0L 2007-2013 BMW 128i 328i 328xi 528i 528xi X3 X5 Z4 3.0L N51 N52 Engine, Replace # 11127552281

Excellent product for sure! very good quality material feels like and original BMW valve cover and the gaskets stay put but be careful setting it in. Remove all the wiring from white canister meaning just take the cover off and pull up the rubber grommets with wire and move them out of the way. As well as the A/C lines that are next to it and run behind !just gently pull them out of the way as well. It's frustrating but just chill and walk away for a few and you will get it. Good luck.

At first I kind of hesitate make this purchase, because it wasn't an OEM parts. I was thinking...well the BMW OEM parts is not that good either, my 2010 328i Convertible has only 50k and the oil start to leak from the valve cover gasket.For less than $200... I decide to replace the whole valve cover with gaskets instead just the gaskets " Eccentric, e-tronic motor, valve cover, gaskets". in case my valve cover bad.I installed few days ago and the Valve cover with gasket fit perfectly... So far so good no oil leak...time will tell...So far highly recommended.

This is a great alternative to the $500 + alternative from most part stores some of the bolts that come with the valve did not like to line up very well but with some patience you will be able to get it one. Pro tip use a small amount of silicone on the gasket to hold it in place during install.

Fits 2005 BMW 528 xiWorksStoped oil leakNot hard to installArrived in pref ed ft condition ontime!WAY cheaper then auto places they wanted like 2 or 3 hundred something NOPE!!! totally worth the two day prime wait!

2011 BMW 328i sedan. I had issues with a failing PCV valve causing high crankcase pressures and whining noises from leaky gaskets. This valve cover resolved all issues and fit perfectly. The gaskets fit great just have to be careful not to knock them out of place when installing the cover onto the engine.

I was warned that I should replace the gaskets with some good quality ones from a reputable re-seller. When the cover arrived the gaskets looked and felt decent, so I decided to use the ones it came with. BIG MISTAKE!!! Basically every single gasket leaked right from first engine startup, including the eccentric shaft actuator seal, valvetronic sensor seal, and others. Very disappointed! Now I'm going to have to take everything apart and install all new seals. I should have know when I saw that the eccentric shaft actuator seal had one of the bolts cross threaded and the bolt was visibly crooked. I'm hoping that it is not totally messed up and will hold a new gasket correctly.

Bought this valve cover to replace my old OEM cover. This thing lasted for about 1 month and then i noticed so much smoke coming from my engine. I pulled over, looked under the hood and found oil leaking onto the exhaust manifold. It was not from the gasket. Oil was pooling up from the VVT Motor and was in the crevices of the ignition coils. It was getting everywhere and then getting so piled up that it leaked onto the exhaust manifold causing so much oil. I removed valve cover and cleaned it and did the process all over again with OEM gaskets from BMW. Same issue. I then drove to work, used compressed air from brake bleeder to suck all oil out and noticed that the valve cover was even burning. I saw discoloration marks on the crevices of the ignition coils so it is both the cheap plastic material and the poorly built assembly. Smelt like burning plastic too. I should've known better when i saw"Made In China" on the valve cover itself. Looks like i'm doing the job again with OEM valve cover from BMW. There are also videos related to this concern.

I really like the product as it was a great match I believe to the OEM part. I installed it on my 2010 BMW 328xi without any issues, the quality was great, the bolts were good, came with all the gaskets. Car runs great after the install. Highly recommend.
