Detailed Description

This Mahle valve cover gasket set is made for engine sealing service where oil control and clean spark plug tube sealing matter. Mahle supplies gaskets used by OEMs and technicians worldwide, and this part follows that approach with an OEM-standard design and molded rubber/steel material construction. It is a direct service part for 2006-2007 BMW 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, 323i, 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi, and 2006-2007 BMW Z4 applications listed below.

Part number VS50533 is also referenced in service catalogs for the same application family, making it easier to confirm the correct engine valve cover gasket set before repair. If you are replacing a leaking BMW valve cover gasket on an E90, E60, or Z4 platform, this set addresses the sealing surfaces at the valve cover and spark plug tube areas.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil seepage around the valve cover perimeter
• Oil entering spark plug tube wells
• Visible gasket hardening or compression set
• Sealing loss after valve cover service
• Engine bay oil residue from a worn cover gasket

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine application by year, make, and model before installation. The fitment notes specify: do not reuse removed bolts, and use with PN GS33637 where required. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly before assembly, and inspect the valve cover for warpage or damage that could affect sealing. This part includes spark plug tube seals and does not include PCV valve grommets, camshaft plugs, or valve cover grommets.
