Eliminate the notorious oil leaks and warping issues caused by BMW’s factory plastic valve covers with our high-quality aluminum valve cover, designed specifically for the M52TU and M54 engines. Whether you're dealing with a failed gasket, cracked plastic, or simply looking for a long-term upgrade, this direct-fit replacement provides superior durability, heat resistance, and leak-free performance for both stock and high-performance builds.
Unlike the cheap Chinese valve covers flooding the market, our valve covers are sourced from a trusted partner in Slovakia, ensuring precision engineering, a perfect fit, and top-tier quality.
Why Upgrade to an Aluminum Valve Cover?
BMW's M52TU and M54 engines came from the factory with brittle plastic valve covers that degrade over time due to constant heat cycling and exposure to engine oil. Eventually, they warp, crack, and leak—leading to oil burning, vacuum leaks, and engine misfires.
Our aluminum valve cover solves these issues permanently, eliminating the weaknesses of the OEM plastic design. It retains the factory oil fill location, making installation seamless with your existing components.
Custom Options to Match Your Build
We offer several add-on options to tailor your valve cover to your exact needs:
✅ Powdercoating or Wrinkle Coating – Available in a variety of finishes to enhance your engine bay aesthetic.
✅ 10AN Fittings, Lines with Catch Can – Ideal for improved crankcase ventilation, reducing excess pressure.
✅ Modified Valve Cover with Dual 10AN Fittings – Perfect for turbocharged or high-boost applications needing additional ventilation.
