Original BMW Rear Engine End Cover for N62 V8 BMW 545i, 550i, 645Ci, 650i, 7 Series, and X5 (2002–2010)

BMW's rear end cover, also called the engine timing cover, is the Original BMW housing that shields the timing chain on N62 and N62N V8 engines in BMW 5, 6, and 7 Series and X5 models from 2002–2010. Its job is to keep dirt and debris away from the timing chain and the parts that run with it. A cracked or missing timing cover should be replaced so nothing interferes with engine timing. This cover is made in Austria, and BMW production of the number began in July 2001. Debris found in or around the timing components is a sign the cover needs attention.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW uses the same rear end cover on both versions of this V8. The N62 version appears in the 545i, 645Ci, 745i, 745Li, Alpina B7, and X5 4.4i and 4.8is, while the updated N62N appears in the 550i, 650i, 750i, 750Li, and X5 4.8i.
