Original BMW Ignition Coil Cover (Engine Cover) for BMW 128i, 328i, 528i, X3, and Z4 (2006–2013)

BMW's ignition coil covering, part 11-12-7-575-032, is the engine cover that sits over the coils on top of the N52 and N52N inline six in the 128i, 328i, 528i, X3, and Z4. It works as a cosmetic trim piece for the engine bay and as a guard against dust and water, keeping dirt and moisture out of the spark plug tubes. Engine covers of this kind also help give the engine bay a clean, finished look. This one weighs 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) and is made in Austria. It is the factory replacement cover for the models named below.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The cover entered production in April 2007 and supersedes 11-12-7-555-338, which BMW rates as exchangeable retrospectively, so it can replace the older piece on earlier cars. BMW's parts data shows it on N52 and N52N six-cylinder engines across several platforms, including the E82 and E88 1 Series, the E90, E91, E92, and E93 3 Series, the E60 and E61 facelift 5 Series, the E83 facelift X3, and the E85, E86, and E89 Z4. Owners often call it the engine cover, but BMW names it for the coils it covers.
