Original BMW O-Ring for S62 Engine VANOS Solenoid, BMW M5 E39 and Z8 E52 (2000–2003)

Built for the S62 engine, this Original BMW O-ring seals the VANOS solenoid in the E39 BMW M5 and the E52 BMW Z8. VANOS is BMW's variable valve timing system. The VANOS units, solenoids, and oil lines work together to control when the valves open and close. BMW released this number in March 2000, the same production window as the M5 and Z8 models it covers. It weighs 1 g (0.04 oz), is made in Germany, and is sold individually.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

An O-ring is a molded round seal that sits in a groove and is compressed between two parts. Here it provides the seal for the VANOS solenoid. BMW uses this number only on the S62 engine, which powers both the E39 M5 and the Z8. BMW lists this number for the S62 engine in the E39 M5 and the Z8, so check that your car has that engine before ordering. VANOS components are known to be temperamental on higher-mileage engines and are common replacement items.
