Original BMW N55 Valve Cover with Gasket Set for 1 Through 7 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5, and X6 (2010–2019)

The Original BMW cylinder head cover 11-12-7-570-292 seals the top of the N55 engine's cylinder head and valvetrain on 1 through 7 Series cars and on the X1, X3, X4, X5, and X6 built from 2010–2019. A valve cover keeps engine oil inside the head and keeps dirt and debris out of the valvetrain. This version also houses the engine's PCV oil separator. BMW rates the cover at 3.1 kg (6.8 lb) and has supplied this number since September 2009 production. It is made in Austria.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW sells this cover as one piece. It arrives with a valve cover gasket set (11-12-7-587-804), eight ASA bolts (11-12-7-544-369), fourteen ASA bolts (11-12-7-576-310), and two ASA bolts (11-12-7-584-156). BMW applies the cover only to N55-equipped models, so the engine code is the first thing to check when choosing a cover. The same number runs from the E82 135i through the F16 X6, so one cover serves every model in the fitment below.

Common Questions

Can the PCV oil separator be replaced on its own?
No. The separator is integrated into this cover and cannot be replaced separately, so a failed separator means replacing the complete cover.

Is a used valve cover a reasonable way to save money?
Used covers cost less, but their condition is never certain. A cracked cover has to be replaced, and a new Original BMW unit takes that uncertainty out of the repair.
