Protect one of the most critical components of your S65 engine with the Slon Workshop E9X M3 (S65) Vanos Covers Kit, a preventative upgrade engineered to eliminate a well-known factory weakness. The OEM plastic VANOS covers used on the BMW S65 are prone to cracking, loosening, and in severe cases, completely detaching—posing a serious risk of internal engine damage due to plastic debris entering the oiling system.
The Slon Workshop E9X M3 (S65) Vanos Covers Kit replaces the fragile factory pieces with precision-machined, high-strength aluminum covers designed to permanently resolve this issue. Unlike replacing complete VANOS units, this M3 VANOS covers kit offers a cost-effective and reliable solution while retaining proper VANOS spring retention to prevent accelerated wear or failure.
A key advantage of this E9X VANOS covers upgrade is its OEM-style installation. Each cover is designed with factory-style clips, allowing them to snap directly into place without removing the VANOS units or resetting valve timing. This means no specialty tools, no complex procedures, and minimal additional labor—typically just a few extra minutes while the valve covers are already removed.

CNC-machined from high-strength aluminum for long-term reliability
