OEM 11-61-7-508-541 Intake Manifold Cover with Crankcase Vent Valve

This genuine BMW intake manifold cover serves a dual function as both a protective cover and an integrated crankcase ventilation valve (also known as a PCV or CCV valve). Located on the rear of the intake manifold, this OEM component is engineered to regulate crankcase pressure and prevent harmful oil vapors from entering the combustion chamber.

Key Features:

• Genuine BMW OEM part manufactured to exact factory specifications
• Integrated crankcase vent valve with spring and diaphragm assembly
• Maintains proper engine ventilation and reduces internal crankcase pressure
• Prevents oil consumption issues and excessive exhaust smoke
• Designed for BMW V8 engines (4.4L and 4.6L applications)
• Requires gasket 11611729728 for proper installation (sold separately)

Why This Part Matters:

These valve fail causing oil to be pulled inside of the combustion chamber, creating white smoke from the exhaust. A failing crankcase vent valve can lead to increased oil consumption, reduced engine performance, misfiring, and carbon buildup. Regular replacement of this component is essential for maintaining optimal engine health and meeting emissions standards.

This part supersedes BMW part number 11611438272 and is compatible with select BMW X5 (E53) and Z8 (E52) models equipped with M62 V8 engines. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle before ordering.
