Original BMW Engine Oil Filler Cap for M3, M5, M6, X5, X6, Z3, Z4, and 5, 6, 7 Series (2002–2014)

Genuine BMW part 11-12-7-832-157 is the factory engine oil filler cap that closes the oil fill opening on the S54, S65, S85, N63, and S63 engines used in BMW M3, M5, M6, Z3 M, Z4 M, 550i, 650i, 750i, Alpina B7, X5, and X6 models from 2002–2014. BMW names it the cap for oil filler. It comes with its sealing gasket and weighs 47 g. BMW has produced this cap since October 2000, and it is made in Slovakia. The cap closes off the top of the engine's oiling system, so a cracked cap or a damaged seal can let in unmetered air. The resulting vacuum leak can cause poor running and possible engine damage.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

A single cap number covers a wide spread of BMW engines. BMW's parts data shows it on the S54 inline six in the E46 M3, the Z3 M Coupe and Roadster, and the E85 and E86 Z4 M. It also fits the S65 V8 in the E9x M3 and the S85 V10 in the E60 M5 and the E63 and E64 M6. On the N63 twin-turbo V8, it fits the F01 and F02 750i and Alpina B7, the F07 550i Gran Turismo, the F10 550i xDrive, the F12 650i xDrive, the E70 X5 xDrive50i, and the E71 X6 xDrive50i. The E72 X6 ActiveHybrid and the S63-powered X5 M and X6 M use it as well.
