Constructed from high-strength, heat-stabilized thermoplastic resin, this complete cover assembly is built to resist warpage, hairline thermal cracking, and long-term degradation from engine heat and pressurized oil vapors. It integrates the internal PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve membrane, which commonly ruptures on high-mileage N52 engines causing vacuum leaks, rough idling, whistled noises, and oil consumption. Replacing a cracked or leaking valve cover restores correct crankcase pressure, stops oil leaks onto the exhaust manifold, and prevents misfires caused by oil-fouled spark plug wells.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Vehicles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBMW 1 Series (E81 \/ E82 \/ E87 \/ E88) 125i \/ 128i \/ 130i (N52 \/ N52N 2.5L \/ 3.0L Engines) (2006–2013)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBMW 3 Series (E90 \/ E91 \/ E92 \/ E93) 323i \/ 325i \/ 328i \/ 330i (N52 \/ N52N \/ N52K 2.5L \/ 3.0L Engines) (2005–2013)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBMW 5 Series (E60 \/ E61 \/ F10 \/ F11) 523i \/ 525i \/ 528i \/ 530i (N52 \/ N52N 2.5L \/ 3.0L Engines) (2005–2011)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBMW 6 Series (E63 \/ E64) 630i (N52 3.0L Engine) (2005–2010)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBMW 7 Series (F01 \/ F02) 730i \/ 730Li (N52N 3.0L Engine) (2008–2015)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBMW X1 (E84) xDrive25i \/ xDrive28i (N52N 3.0L Engine) (2009–2011)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBMW X3 (E83 \/ F25) 2.5si \/ 3.0si \/ xDrive28i (N52N 2.5L \/ 3.0L Engines) (2006–2012)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBMW X5 (E70) 3.0si \/ xDrive30i (N52N 3.0L Engine) (2006–2010)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBMW Z4 (E85 \/ E86 \/ E89) 2.5i \/ 2.5si \/ 3.0i \/ 3.0si \/ sDrive23i \/ sDrive30i (N52 \/ N52N Engines) (2005–2011)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eApplication Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically engineered for BMW 6-cylinder naturally aspirated \u003cb\u003eN52 \/ N52N \/ N52K engines\u003c\/b\u003e equipped with the black plastic composite valve cover. \u003ci\u003e(Note: Does not fit early N52 engines equipped with the silver magnesium valve cover).\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eImportant Fitment Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes integrated PCV valve diaphragm.
