the pc valve built into the valve cover was bad on my car and the gasket was leaking so decided that a new valve cover was the best way to go. It is a big job replacing the cover on these BMW engine so I didn't want to have to do it twice . fit good and works . I also replaced the pcv hose that was cracked

Fit great. Better quality then oe plastic one. Definitely a great deal and upgraded look.

It’s a great valve cover, fit in easy and I used the included gaskets and bolts ! 2,000+ miles and so far no leaks/issues. Only thing I recommend is using stock oil cap and not the included one. I drive the car hard too, redline everyday. Old valve cover was leaking and had bad pcv valve, this fixed the issue and this new valve covers PCV is removable separately which is great if there ever any issues in the future it’s an easier, cheaper fix. It also made the engine look nicer

Have been running this for a year now with zero issues, previous owner said he used the same one and it lasted about 5 years before it started leaking, the bmw genuine part last about the same amount of time and are 5x the price. Would recommend, would buy again

Just installed and it’s blowing so much smoke out of the exhaust. The install of the product went good and I have no check engine lights or performance issues. However after looking into it looks like the crankcase vent valve is bad on the valve cover. Going to try and replace that without taking the cover back off and update if it fixes it.Update:Wasn’t the pcv valve but must’ve been something that got into the cylinders and worked its way out. Car doesn’t have any smoke anymore and no leaks. Cover fitment was great although I do regret not spending a bit extra for the aluminum because trying to work the cover back in place without breaking any plastic was awful. Updating to 4 stars though just because the oil cap does leak right away. Don’t even bother using it you’ll hear air hissing through it as soon as you turn the car on use your old one

Love this valve cover! I've replaced the plastic one 2 times now so I was like not again glad I found this one! It fit so well I try to find parts from A-Premium first now over anything else this brands parts fit and function like OEM. To be honest the quality of this aluminum valve cover is well over the quality of the stock plastic one in every way possible! Thanks no leaks great price lower then the oem part quit a bit and I love the silver look to it. Install was no harder or easier then the stock so all was perfect! Gasket fit in the cover perfectly didn't fall out when you tried to put the cover on! The only down side is it's a little more engine noise now but I don't mind that just had to get use to it!

It fits like OEM and no leaks so far!UPDATE: DO NOT USE THE PROVIDED GASKETS UNLESS YOU WANT TO DO THE JOB TWICE. 3 months after installation the engine started smoking again, and sure enough, oil was leaking from the valve cover gasket and the valvetronic motor gasket that was provided with this kit. I have replaced them with OEM Elring gaskets and so far so good. I wish I listened to the other reviews before I used the provided gaskets that came with this kit. The valve cover itself seems to be holding up just fine.

It fit great, no leaks. Had to redo the valvotronic motor gasket but it all lines up perfectly, just don't be discouraged because it fits great. Let you know how it does in a couple years.
