    It list a 530i as fitment - wrong, but it looks to be OE. What’s the question otherwise

    I was just wondering about it’s quality, longevity etc. usually it’s either, buy the valley pan boat looking part, or apply gasket material yourself. I’m not too much inclined to use sealant. I saw this one so I’m trying to find out if there’s anyone in the forum that have any feedback on these gaskets.

    It will not work with an unmodified M62 valley pan, I explain why in this thread. It will work perfectly with a modified pan, as will RTV, It will definitely not work with the stock pan and RTV would be on the very edge of it's gap filling spec and I would not want to risk it.
