Review on 🔧 Bapmic Engine Valve Cover with Gaskets & Bolts for BMW E82 E90 E70 128i 328i 528i X3 X5 Z4 (Part Number 11127552281) by Pat Peoples

Well this is the second VC replacement I have made on this machine. The first VC was an original BMW part, but since money is tight, I opted for this one. I received the part fairly quickly and on initial inspection it was found to be correct and came with all the gaskets but once I removed the old one I found the new part was made of thinner material and the screws were a bit oversized. When I tried to unscrew the first screw it didn't tighten well and when I tried to remove it the screw broke in half. It's still in my cylinder head. I had to knock out new bolts and use bolts from my old valve cover. If I have time I'll go and drill out the broken bolt, but as long as the oil isn't leaking and the CCV isn't whistling. I have done this job 4 times twice on an X5 with N52N engine and now twice on my 328I also with N52N engine. My advice: buy an OEM valve cover, but if money is tight, buy this one, but knock out the bolts and use the ones from your old VC. I give two stars for the poor quality of the product, not the seller. I had no interaction with them.
