This must be replaced if the intake manifold is removed. Perfect fit but I did have issues with keeping the gasket seated in the manifold while reinstalling. Small amount of high tack gasket spray might be necessary on the non mating surface of the gasket to hold in place. At half the price as Genuine BMW this is a steal of a deal for OEM.

Elring is Genuine quality without the high price. Supple gaskets replaced my old ones. Lots of work getting that intake off - would hate to put old gaskets back in!

Excellent Quality and fit.
