Original BMW Engine Block Cover Gasket, Asbestos-Free, BMW M5 E39 (2000–2003)

Sealing a cover on the timing case of the S62 engine, this Original BMW asbestos-free gasket, part number 11-14-1-405-969, is the factory replacement for the 2000–2003 BMW M5 (E39). The covers it seals keep the timing gear protected from outside dirt and water and keep engine oil inside the engine. BMW gives the gasket a weight of 6 g, and production of this number began in September 1998. It is made in Germany and sold as a single piece. Like any cover gasket, it sits between two machined faces and compresses as the cover fasteners are tightened, closing the gap so oil cannot weep past the joint.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Within the E39 range, BMW assigns this number only to the M5 with the S62 engine, and BMW's parts data does not show it for other E39 5 Series models. The asbestos-free designation is part of BMW's own name for the part. During a timing service, replacing gaskets and any damaged covers is important, so plan to have this gasket on hand whenever the timing case covers on an S62 come off.
