Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the OE number, engine configuration, and production date before ordering, especially for BMW 320i, 325Ci, 330i, 525i, 530i, and X5 applications listed through 09/2002. Inspect the mating surfaces carefully, clean the cylinder head sealing area, and verify that the replacement cover sits evenly before final tightening. Always compare the old part’s dimensions and connector layout to the new unit before installation.
