{"product_id":"bmw-oil-separator-set","title":"Original BMW Cylinder Head Cover Oil Separator Set for BMW 550i, 650i, 750i, Alpina B7, X5, and X6 (2008–2014)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW oil separator set 11-15-8-636-540 contains both cylinder head cover oil separators for the N63 and S63 V8, along with their gaskets and bolts, for the BMW 550i, 650i, 750i, Alpina B7, X5, and X6. An oil separator sits in the crankcase ventilation path and pulls oil mist out of blow-by gases before those gases are drawn back into the intake. BMW names this kit the set of oil separators for the cylinder head cover. The complete set weighs 502 g (1.1 lb). It is made in Austria and sold as one set, and production of this set began in December 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach cylinder bank on these V8s has its own separator, and BMW identifies the two by cylinder group. The set includes the separator for cylinders 1–4 (11-15-7-566-261) and the separator for cylinders 5–8 (11-15-7-566-260), so both banks are covered in one purchase. It also includes a profile gasket set for each side: 11-12-7-566-288 for cylinders 1–4 and 11-12-7-566-289 for cylinders 5–8. Six ASA bolts in M6 x 20 size (11-12-9-908-718) complete the kit. Ordering the set instead of the separators individually brings matching gaskets and new fasteners under a single part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (Original BMW part)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-15-8-636-540\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: set, oil separators, cylinder head cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents: oil separator for cylinders 1–4, oil separator for cylinders 5–8, profile gasket set for cylinders 1–4, profile gasket set for cylinders 5–8, and six ASA bolts M6 x 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 502 g (1.1 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: one set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: December 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in this set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth cylinder head cover oil separators (cylinders 1–4 and 5–8), a profile gasket set for each bank, and six M6 x 20 ASA bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit the X5 M and X6 M?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
