Elring 584.160 Engine Crankshaft Seal - Front

Elring Crankshaft Seal for BMW Applications

The Elring 584.160 engine crankshaft seal is built for BMW engines that require a precise radial shaft seal at the timing end or front crankshaft location. Made from FPM (fluoride rubber), it uses a dust lip to help keep contaminants out while maintaining a stable seal around the crankshaft.

With an 8.0 mm thickness, 55.0 mm inside diameter, and 68.0 mm outside diameter, this seal is specified for a range of BMW and Mini applications, including BMW X5, BMW X3, and BMW 328d fitments. The Elring 584.160 is a direct-fit sealing component for service work where crankcase oil control matters.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions, swirl type, and dust lip configuration before installation. Clean the crankshaft sealing surface thoroughly and inspect for grooves, scoring, or debris that could affect sealing. For BMW applications such as the X5, X3, and 328d, confirm whether the engine uses the front or timing-end seal location listed in the fitment data. Use proper installation tools to avoid damaging the sealing lip during fitment.
