Detailed Description

This Elring cylinder head gasket set is intended for BMW engine repair applications where a complete sealing refresh is needed around the cylinder head area, but the cylinder head gasket itself is not included. The part number 456.240 helps ensure the correct sealing set is selected for service on BMW M240i, X5, X3, X6, X4, 535d, 535i, and related models listed in the fitment data.

Use this set when replacing engine sealing components during cylinder head service, teardown, or rebuild work. Elring is a recognized sealing-system manufacturer, and this part is cataloged for multiple BMW gasoline and diesel applications across the 2012-2020 model years.

What It Helps Address

  • Oil or coolant leakage around cylinder head sealing components
  • Loss of sealing integrity during engine repair or rebuild work
  • Need for a replacement gasket set when the head gasket is sourced separately
  • Service on BMW engines showing signs of combustion sealing wear
  • Restoration of proper sealing after cylinder head removal

Installation Notes

Confirm engine code, VIN, and gasket configuration before installation, since this set is supplied without the cylinder head gasket. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly, inspect the cylinder head and block for warpage or damage, and follow BMW torque specifications and tightening sequence during reassembly. Replace related seals and fasteners only when specified by the repair procedure.

Quality Assurance

Elring manufactures engine sealing components for professional repair use. Part number 456.240 is listed for the BMW applications shown above and should be matched to the vehicle’s exact engine configuration before installation.
