MITZONE Aluminum Valve Cover Kit for BMW N20 2.0L (2012–2018) — Includes Gasket, Bolts & Oil Cap

If your BMW from the 2012–2018 model years is equipped with the N20 2.0L engine, the factory plastic valve cover can become brittle after many heat cycles and miles. This MITZONE aluminum valve cover kit is engineered as a long-lasting upgrade: it resists cracking, installs in place of the original, and comes with the valve cover gasket set, replacement bolts, and a matching oil cap so you can do a complete, tidy swap.

Will this aluminum valve cover fit my BMW N20 engine?

This kit is designed specifically for BMW vehicles that used the N20 2.0L engine and replaces OE reference 11127588412. It fits many 2012–2018 BMW models listed for the N20 family and provides a direct replacement geometry for a straightforward install.

How does an aluminum cover improve durability versus the plastic original?

Aluminum withstands repeated heat cycles and vibration better than the original plastic cover, reducing the risk of cracks and leaks as mileage climbs. The MITZONE cover is machined and finished to maintain sealing surfaces and mounting points compatible with stock hardware, giving you longer service life.

• Stronger material reduces brittleness and heat-related failure
• Durable finish resists oil damage and thermal stress
• Includes new gasket and bolts to ensure a reliable seal
• OEM-style sealing geometry for proper torque and fit

What’s included and any installation tips I should know?

The kit ships complete with the aluminum valve cover, a specified valve cover gasket set, replacement valve cover bolts, and a matching oil cap. During installation, use the new gasket and follow proper torque sequence; do not overtighten the bolts to avoid distortion of the sealing surface.

• Kit contents: valve cover, gasket set, bolts, oil cap
• Follow factory torque sequence and specified torque values
• Replace gasket and clean mating surfaces before fitting
• Do not overtighten bolts—tighten gradually and evenly

Will using this part affect engine performance or maintenance?

The MITZONE aluminum cover is a structural and sealing upgrade rather than a performance modification; it preserves original engine function while reducing failure risk from cover cracking. Routine maintenance remains the same—inspect for leaks and service per BMW intervals.

• No engine recalibration required—direct replacement
• Improved longevity lowers the likelihood of oil leaks and contamination
• Maintains stock ventilation and oil cap function included in kit
• Compatible with existing PCV and related engine accessories

Who is this for: This MITZONE N20 aluminum valve cover kit is intended for BMW owners and independent technicians who want a reliable, longer-lasting substitute for the OEM plastic valve cover on 2.0L N20 engines. It’s a practical option for vehicles approaching high mileage, cars that have shown valve cover cracking or oil seepage, or any owner who prefers a metal replacement with new gasket and hardware for a clean, maintenance-friendly installation.
