Original BMW N63 and S63 Valve Cover, Cylinder Bank 1–4, for BMW F01/F02 7 Series, F07/F10 5 Series, F12/F13 650i, E70 X5, and E71 X6 (2008–2014)

Made in Germany, this Original BMW cylinder head cover seals the top of the engine over cylinders 1–4 on the N63 and S63 engines used in the BMW 550i, 650i, 750i, 750Li, X5, and X6 from 2008–2014. Valve covers close off the valve train at the top of the cylinder head, holding oil in and keeping dirt out. This one weighs 2.8 kg (6.1 lb) and is sold as a single piece. BMW's production record for the current number starts in September 2009.

Original BMW Parts include a 24-month parts warranty.

The current number supersedes 11-12-7-570-938, and BMW rates the change as retrospectively interchangeable, so a car built with the earlier cover takes this one directly. On the N63 engine, BMW applies it to the F07 550i GT, the F10 550i, the F12 and F13 650i, the F01 and F02 750i and 750Li along with their xDrive and Alpina B7 and B7L versions, the F04 ActiveHybrid 7, the E70 X5 xDrive50i, the E71 X6 xDrive50i, and the E72 ActiveHybrid X6.

Common Questions

Which side of the engine does this cover go on?
BMW built this number for the bank that holds cylinders 1–4. Match it to the cylinder bank you are working on before you order.

Do the X5 M and X6 M use the same cover as the xDrive50i?
Yes. BMW shows this number on the S63-powered E70 X5 M and E71 X6 M as well as the N63-powered xDrive50i models.

PMB can match the rest of your N63 or S63 valve cover job to the same VIN.
