BMW Valve Cover Gasket Seal

Elring 425.390 is an engine valve cover gasket for BMW inline-six applications that require a precise sealing surface at the valve cover. It is listed for a wide range of BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5, Z3, and Z4 models from 1996 through 2006, with fitment varying by engine position and production date.

This gasket is a direct sealing component for BMW 325i, 330i, 528i, M3, and related models where oil control at the valve cover is critical. Elring 425.390 is also referenced by Beck/Arnley 036-1546 and MAHLE VS50448 for the same application.

Key Features

  • Engine valve cover gasket for BMW sealing applications
  • Elring part number 425.390 for catalog and service reference
  • Fits BMW models with Inner or N/A position listings, depending on application
  • Supports fitment across 1996-2006 BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5, Z3, and Z4 coverage
  • Cross-reference part numbers available for common aftermarket lookup

Detailed Description

Elring 425.390 is used to restore the seal between the valve cover and cylinder head on covered BMW engines. Proper sealing at this location helps maintain oil containment, reduce contamination around the top end of the engine, and preserve clean operation in vehicles such as the BMW 325Ci, 330i, X5, and Z4. Because fitment depends on model year, engine configuration, and whether the application is listed as Inner or N/A, confirm the vehicle details before ordering.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 036-1546 and MAHLE VS50448 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Oil seepage at the valve cover perimeter
  • Visible oil residue around the top of the engine
  • Sealing deterioration from age and heat cycling
  • Maintenance on BMW valve cover service work
  • Restoring a proper seal after valve cover removal

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify the exact BMW model, year, and position listing before installation.
  • Inspect the valve cover and cylinder head sealing surfaces for damage or debris.
  • Clean mating surfaces thoroughly before placing the gasket.
  • Follow the vehicle service procedure for torque sequence and tightening values.
  • Check for oil leaks after reassembly and engine warm-up.
