330d M57 Aftermarket Inlet Gaskets Okay?
I have posted this topic on another thread (325d/330d Glow plug replacement) but got no response.
I will be using that thread's DIY guide to attempt to change all 6 plugs to BERU GE102 and the module to BERU GSE102 as I know these get knackered over time and mine is a 2008 model with 105k miles and 3 cylinders are showing activation errors on them, so I would like to hit all at once before winter arrives. I have one question regarding the gaskets. I was quoted under £110 for 12 gaskets from BMW today! I couldn't believe myself for a second and am still thinking that the sales guy made an error, even after asking him twice that is this price correct. So, I have seen a complete set on eBay for £19.95. 174019677421 eBay item number. It includes 18 gaskets... I would like to know if others on this forum have gone with aftermarket gaskets rather than BMW. As its the air intake side, I assume its okay to get away with aftermarket ones? Thanks. |

I have never heard of elring, but if they are OEM, I believe they must be a good brand. The ones that I have seen on eBay for £18.99 are a generic brand as far as I am aware... I would like to know if it would be a bad idea to use aftermarket (non-oem) brand gaskets. I will do a search for elring to see if anyone is selling their gaskets. I don't see much sense in spending £100 for a set of gaskets from BMW? This is absolutely disgusting! Last edited by bmw_solid; 05-28-2020 at 05:07 PM.. Reason: typo |

I'd just go ahead with the unbranded ones, if you don't want to spend the £30ish (from memory) for Elring. I doubt they'll cause you hassle, and if they do it's just a couple of hours to swap them out and only £18 wasted.
I just spent £11 on 2 o-rings, so £100 for a set of manifold gaskets is fair money really ![]() |
