mitzone aluminum valve cover (n55)

Johanian · 02-22-2023, 07:35 PM

Anybody have installed this? I’m getting ready for a valve cover change and came through this. You can replace the pcv on this one without desasembling the whole thing too which is a plus. Thoughts?

The timing of this post is crazy since i literally just bought a whole new valve cover yesterday. Dont know anything about this product or manufacturer but years of reviews and research on here say always go geniuine bmw parts when replacing the valve cover. Even similar non-bmw plastic covers by reputable companies have various issues so I can't imagine this would be different. I'd stay away. Dont think its worth the risk.

I literally just replaced my valve cover with an oem unit today. Reviews on the mitzone were mixed at best so I wasn’t personally comfortable.

I talked to a guy on Reddit. He have had his replaced with one of this with 10k mikes on it and have take the car to 10 auto cross events with no problem. I think I’m going to pull the trigger on this I’m using oem gaskets tho. Will update this post if end up doing it.

I went with a URO valve cover. The insurance covered for it and offered me a good warranty 🤷🏻&zwj;♂️
