Agreed!
I would avoid Elring as well. My Elring valve cover gasket leaked almost immediately. No more leaks after replacing it with the BMW OE gasket. |

On my E90, I've done all the gaskets in the N52 that eventually leak. For the valve cover and oil pan gaskets, I used original BMW gaskets along with a thin coat of Permatex Ultra Black gasket sealer on both sides of the gasket. Both are leak free 3 years and 100,000 miles later. For the profile gasket in the oil filter housing, I just used the original BMW gasket with no gasket sealer.
