OEM-spec cylinder head gasket designed to seal the joint between the cylinder head and engine block, maintaining:

• Compression sealing (combustion chamber integrity)

• Coolant sealing (prevents coolant loss / external leaks)

• Oil sealing (prevents oil/coolant cross-contamination)

This gasket is specified by BMW as an asbestos-free head gasket.

When it's typically replaced

• Overheating events / suspected head gasket failure

• Cylinder head removal for valve work, timing work, or head repair

• Coolant/oil mixing, pressurized cooling system, unexplained coolant loss

• Combustion gas in coolant / repeated misfire with coolant consumption

Engine compatibility 

Compatible engines: BMW 2.0L turbo engines in the B48 family (and commonly listed alongside B46 2.0L applications depending on market/vehicle).

Fitment must be confirmed by engine code/VIN, because BMW uses different head gasket designs across engine families.
