BMW M5X Aluminum Valve Covers

Poverty Built aluminum valve covers for BMW M50, M52, S52, M52TU, and M54 engine families. These covers replace aging plastic components with a more dimensionally stable aluminum design, but correct engine identification, gasket preparation, crankcase pressure, and installation technique still determine whether the repair seals properly.

The M50/M52/S52 product is an M52-style single-VANOS cover. M50 compatibility requires ignition coils secured with one bolt or a conversion to OBD-II-style coils. It uses the molded-rubber BMW profile-gasket design found across the OBD-II E36 six-cylinder family. When the -10AN fitting option is selected, the factory CCV port must be plugged.

The M52TU/M54 product is a separate dual-VANOS design; do not select it solely because the engine name sounds similar. Compare both families in the BMW M5X aluminum valve-cover fitment and installation guide.

Valve covers ship free within the United States; international customers pay calculated shipping. Allow approximately one week for standard unmodified covers and 1.5–2.5 weeks for custom fittings, colors, or wrinkle finishes.
