Product Information

For cylinders 1-4, includes PCV breather box, gaskets, and mounting hardware, does not include oil filler cap

Most valve covers will last the lifetime of the motor. However, in rare cases the valve cover can crack or get damaged in other ways. If the valve cover is damaged it will need to be replaced immediately as cracks can cause vacuum and oil leaks.

Engine Valve Cover

An engine valve cover, or rocker cover, is a protective component that sits on top of an engine’s cylinder head, covering the valves and valve train components. It helps prevent oil leaks and protects the internal parts from dirt, debris, and other contaminants. In some newer applications, valve covers will also sometimes house the PCV Valve or part of the PCV system to allow engine oil crankcase pressure to be relieved properly.

Engine Valve Cover Failure Symptoms
  • Age and Wear: Valve Cover Gaskets harden and crack over time, causing leaks or smells terminating from the engine
  • Improper Installation: Uneven torque or poor gasket placement
  • Material Fatigue: High engine temperatures can cause plastic or metal covers to warp or crack
  • Blocked PCV Valve: Pressure buildup in the crankcase can damage the cover

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.

Expensive, effective
Yeah, it's expensive. It's also your best chance at stopping that stupid leak from the filler cap that these cars so often get. All other options – new cap, modded cap, stripping & re-coating, etc. – get mixed results. Remember this comes with the gasket, all bolts, and oil separator, so you don't have to buy those – but it does not come with spark plug tubes, so you'll have to get those separately.

Be careful while torquing
Comes predressed with gasket and new bolts. However, bolts are pretty brittle and mediocre quality. They're also very expensive on their own. Snapped a bolt when torquing and was a pain to drill/extract out of my cylinder head. Hopefully the new valve cover gasket doesn't leak and the valve cover doesn't warp.

Question Posted by a customer
Do these covers come with original BMW Gasket and Screws?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, both would be part of the cover itself, and not need to be purchased separately.
