Original BMW VANOS Solenoid O-Ring for BMW M5 and Z8 S62 V8 (2000–2003)

On the S62 V8 in the 2000–2003 BMW M5 and Z8, this Original BMW O-ring seals the VANOS solenoid that helps control variable valve timing. BMW's parts data names it simply an O-ring, weighing 1 g, with production starting in March 2000. It is made in Germany and sold individually. VANOS units, solenoids, and oil lines all play a direct part in controlling valve timing on these engines, and they are common replacement items on higher-mileage S62 engines. An O-ring of this kind sits compressed in a groove so engine oil cannot seep past the joint it seals.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW assigns this O-ring to one engine only, the S62, and to two chassis, the E39 M5 sedan and the E52 Z8 roadster. That narrow application makes it a dedicated VANOS seal rather than a general-purpose ring borrowed from another engine family. BMW's parts data lists no earlier part number against it. Because each ring is sold on its own, count the solenoid joints you are opening up and order to match.
