Product Description
Ensure a proper seal around your BMW's spark plug inserts with the Arrowhead Gasket Spark Plug Insert, designed specifically for engine gasket applications. This gasket is essential for maintaining the integrity of the spark plug chamber, preventing oil leaks and ensuring optimal engine performance.
This part is suitable for select BMW models, including the F20, F22, F23, F30 to F36, F10, and X series such as X1 to X6, as well as the Z4, with N55 and N20 engines. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
