{"product_id":"bmw-valve-cover-11","title":"Original BMW Valve Cover (Cylinders 1–4) for BMW 550i, 650i, 750i, Alpina B6\/B7, X5, and X6 (2013–2016)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCovering cylinders 1–4 of the N63N V8, Original BMW cylinder head cover 11-12-7-636-759 seals the top of that bank's valve train on 2013–2016 BMW 550i, 650i, and 750i models, the Alpina B6 and B7, and the X5 and X6 xDrive50i. A valve cover sits on the cylinder head over the valves and valvetrain, keeping engine oil in and dirt and debris out. On a V8, each cylinder bank has its own cover. BMW marks this one ZYL. 1-4, its shorthand for cylinders 1 through 4. The cover weighs 4.2 kg (9.3 lb), is made in Germany, and sits at position 1 on BMW's valve cover diagram.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBMW began producing this cover in July 2012 for the N63N engine. BMW's records show it across the facelifted 5 Series and 7 Series, the 5 Series GT, the F06, F12, and F13 6 Series, the F15 X5, and the F16 X6. On several xDrive models, BMW shows the N63N in both 4.0 and 4.4 variants, and this cover is fitted to each. The part is bank-specific. If you plan to replace both covers, the cylinder 5–8 side takes its own cover, so check which bank is leaking or damaged before you order.\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: 11-12-7-636-759\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: cylinder head cover, cylinders 1–4 (ZYL. 1-4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: N63N V8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagram position: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.2 kg (9.3 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: July 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24-month parts warranty on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this cover fit both sides of the engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It covers cylinders 1–4 only, and the other bank takes its own cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat damages a valve cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh engine temperatures can warp or crack plastic or metal covers.
