I can second X5Chemist love of these all aluminum valve covers. Guys, send your POS plastic cover to the landfill. These are the Bomb. I will add that you should wash your new rubber gaskets in Dawn detergent before assembling them. There is a sticky mold release film of the gaskets. Get that off before you fit them on the aluminum VC,s. I took a lot of pictures and the fit and finish is superb. Can’t post the picture because they are too large. Not a geek so I’m lost there. Anyway I loved the cover so much on my 2003 525 wagon I bought another one for the sticker shift 2003 X5. With 3.0 engine. I bought from Amazon and even the hardware and gaskets re great.

I've seen these VC on Amazon, very attractive. I would spring for a couple but my existing OEM covers are performing just fine. If I were to run across one at the bone yard however, I'll id most likely snap it up...

AV8R4AA,
Email the pictures to yourself. Before the email goes out, your phone should ask what size to email them. Choose small or medium size. After receiving smaller pictures on my computer smaller, I can post them. This works on iPhones. Not sure about Android. I would like to see your pics!

Cool, you have the first style ignition coils. Post pics after the installation.
