Product Description

This SKP valve cover breather is an essential engine component designed for BMW models equipped with N54 and N55 engines. The breather plays a key role in regulating internal engine pressure and ensuring proper ventilation of crankcase gases. Its integrated electrical connector and robust plastic housing are engineered for a precise fit and reliable operation in demanding engine environments.

This breather is compatible with a range of BMW vehicles, including the F20, F21, F22, F23, F30, E90, X3, X4, X5, and X6 models that use N54 or N55 engines. Due to variations in engine configurations and production years, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering.

A faulty valve cover breather can cause a variety of issues, such as increased oil consumption, rough idling, engine warning lights, or even oil leaks. You may also notice performance drops, excessive engine smoke, or unusual noises from the engine bay if the breather is not functioning correctly.

Replacing the valve cover breather is recommended if you experience any of these symptoms or during scheduled engine maintenance, especially in higher-mileage BMWs. Timely replacement helps maintain optimal engine ventilation and prevents more costly engine damage down the line.

Order your SKP valve cover breather from MiMi Auto Parts with confidence. We offer nationwide delivery throughout South Africa and expert support to help you find exactly the right part for your BMW.
