**COMES WITH NEW GASKETS AND HARDWARE!**

Say goodbye to cracked, leaking plastic valve covers and unreliable magnesium replacements. Our high-quality aluminum valve cover is the ultimate upgrade for BMW M50 and M52 engines, offering superior durability, heat resistance, and a clean, leak-free engine bay. Unlike the cheap Chinese covers flooding the market, our valve covers are sourced from a trusted partner in Slovakia, ensuring top-tier quality and fitment.

Engineered for Performance & Reliability

BMW’s Single-VANOS M52 and S52 engines originally came with brittle plastic valve covers that warp over time, leading to persistent oil leaks and sealing issues. While the OEM magnesium valve covers from M50/S50 engines are a common alternative, they too suffer from heat-induced warping.

Our aluminum valve cover eliminates these issues entirely, providing a long-term solution for both naturally aspirated and turbocharged builds. This is an M52-style valve cover, but it fits M50 engines with a simple modification—clocking the front three ignition coils sideways, which we recommend for turbo setups to ensure proper clearance for coil wires. We also make modifications to the valve cover to provide better fitment of the M50 ignition coils.

Customizable to Fit Your Build

We offer several add-on options to tailor your valve cover to your exact needs:
✅ Powdercoating or Wrinkle Coating – Choose from a variety of finishes to match your engine bay aesthetic.
✅ Modified Valve Cover with Dual 10AN Fittings – Perfect for boosted applications needing additional crankcase ventilation.
✅ 10AN Fittings, Lines with Catch Can – Keep your crankcase ventilation system in check with a clean, functional solution.

Key Benefits:

✔ Direct replacement for M52 & S52 engines (also fits M50 with coil modification)
✔ No more warping or oil leaks – Eliminates the failure-prone plastic and magnesium covers
✔ Retains original oil fill location (M52/S52 only) – No need for additional modifications
✔ Turbo-friendly design – Will not warp or crack in high heat environments. Tested and proven on our own 600hp turbo E36!
