Bremman S55 aluminum valve cover

TouringM3 · 05-23-2024, 01:54 PM

Hey pals –
I have a joyous valve cover gasket leak. My primary mechanic guru advised me to go ahead and replace the valve cover w/ integrated PCV.

I'm highly inclined to go with an aluminum version, but retain PCV, and i see that Bremman parts makes a version that's landing at FCP / Turner soon.

Does anyone here have experience with an alumimum valve cover from Bremman, or of any kind?

Would i be dumb to go aluminum over OEM plastic? Holler at me!

Picture for fun

Would also be interested in this, think my PCV is on last legs.

Who did you order it from? I’m asking because it’s on sale for $297.49 at ECS.

Tempted to buy one of these just to have on hand given they're on sale. Looks like need to buy gaskets separately

What is the advantage of the aluminum one over the stock? Is the pcv designed differently or are they less failure prone?

The plastic one bends and leaks. Aluminum shouldn't. Basically that

Exactly what i bought. They also said that i comes with a gasket, but i bought the BMW OEM gasket just to be extra confident that i won't have to do this again for many dozens of thousands of miles
