MMX S65 VANOS Covers for E90 E92 E93 M3

At MMX, we’ve developed a durable fix for the common failure of BMW S65 plastic VANOS covers, which can crack or detach and cause serious engine damage. Our CNC-machined 6062-T6 aluminium replacements are a direct-fit solution that retain full spring coverage, improve reliability and install with ease. Finished in anodised black and engineered in the UK, they offer a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire VANOS unit, protecting your engine with proper long-term peace of mind.

MMX aluminium VANOS covers fix a known S65 weak point.

At MMX, we’re proud to offer a smart and reliable fix for a well-known issue affecting the BMW S65 engine. The original VANOS covers, made from plastic, are prone to cracking, breaking or coming loose over time. In some cases, they can even fall off entirely. When this happens, bits of plastic can make their way into the oil system, potentially blocking the oil pickup and causing oil starvation. This can result in catastrophic internal engine failure. The issue is not the design itself, but rather the material BMW used.

We’ve developed a solution that completely eliminates this risk. Our upgraded VANOS covers are CNC machined from high-grade 6062-T6 aluminium and designed to be a true replacement for the original plastic parts. These covers are built to last and won’t become brittle or fail over time like the factory versions. Unlike other aftermarket options, we’ve ensured the internal springs remain fully enclosed for added protection and reliability.

Installation is simple and requires no special tools. The covers snap securely into place, providing a hassle-free upgrade with immediate peace of mind. Each set is finished in anodised black to give a clean and durable look that blends in perfectly with the engine bay.

Like all MMX products, these covers are designed and engineered right here in the UK. BMW does not offer the plastic VANOS covers separately, which often leaves owners facing the costly option of replacing the entire VANOS unit. Our solution is more cost-effective, more durable and offers proper long-term protection for your S65 engine.
