Product Information

Covers the windshield wiper motor assembly, a common piece in need of replacement with high mileage

This panel covers your E53 X5's windshield wiper components. This piece usually gets damaged when being removed to work on the wiper system. We recommend replacement if it has been damaged as water can leak into the engine bay.

Cowl Cover

A cowl cover is a plastic or metal panel located at the base of the windshield, covering the area between the hood and the windshield. It serves to protect windshield wiper components, cabin air filters, and ventilation inlets from debris, water, and dirt while also improving aerodynamics and appearance.

Cowl Cover Failure Symptoms
  • Water leaks into the cabin, often onto the floor or dashboard, due to cracks or poor sealing.
  • Rattling or vibration noises from loose or broken mounting points.
  • Debris accumulation in HVAC system, leading to reduced airflow or foul odors if the cover is damaged or missing.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.

Replace before its NLA
Wanted to refresh all exterior seals on my e53. If this is UV cracked, it can allow water to get behind the glove box. I thought it was my door vapor barrier or sunroof drain but it was this cowl! The passenger front carpet would get damp with a slightly sour smell but never soaking wet. This stopped the water intrusion and is now staying dry!
