BMW 3-Series E36 2.5 / 2.8 / 3.2 Aluminium Cam/Rocker Cover
BMW 3-Series E36 2.5 / 2.8 / 3.2 Aluminium Cam/Rocker Cover
If the original plastic cover on an M52 or S52 BMW has become brittle, distorted or difficult to seal, this black aluminium replacement provides a more rigid, serviceable alternative. It follows OE reference 11121703341 and comes with the matching gasket set.
Key features
- For selected BMW M52 and S52 engines
- Matches OE reference 11121703341
- Aluminium construction with black finish
- More rigid than the original plastic cover
- Cam-cover gasket set included
Design details
The aluminium casting follows the engine’s coil, oil-filler, breather and sealing layout while giving the upper engine a clean, understated finish.
On the car
A fresh cover and gasket set can restore a dependable seal where an ageing original cover has cracked, warped or been damaged.
Fitment notes
Use the vehicle-specific fitment row, then match OE reference 11121703341 and every external connection with the cover being removed. Clean the sealing face and follow BMW’s tightening sequence and torque.
Important: OE number and engine code take priority over registration year because BMW applications overlap.
