If you wrench on modern BMWs, you already know the usual suspects: oil weep from the housing, a burnt-oil smell on warm-up, and that slightly embarrassing driveway spot. The fix is often the 11427508970 BMW - OIL FILTER HOUSING GASKETS. I’ve watched dozens of shops treat this as a “while you’re in there” service, and honestly, it saves callbacks. Below is the insider’s look—tech specs, test data, how it’s made, plus some real-world context you can use.
Part no. 11-42-7-508-970, new and original-fit geometry, suitable for both left- and right-hand drive models. Coverage includes: E81, E82, E87, E87 LCI, E88, E46, E90, E90 LCI, E91, E91 LCI, E92, E92 LCI, E93, E93 LCI, E60 LCI, E61 LCI, X1 (E84), X3 (E83/E83 LCI), Z4 (E85). Heat cycles plus modern low-ash oils can harden weaker elastomers. A proper elastomer blend (FKM/Viton or equivalent) resists hot oil, shear, and micro-movement at the housing flange.

Daily drivers, tuned N52/N54 weekend cars, fleet taxis—same story. Many customers say swapping the 11427508970 BMW - OIL FILTER HOUSING GASKETS during belt/alternator or coolant service is “cheap insurance.” I’ve seen surprising oil misting stopped cold after a proper surface clean, torque sequence, and a fresh gasket.
| Option | Material/Spec | Testing | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YJM Seal (OES-grade) | FKM or equivalent; tight tolerances | ASTM D2000/D395/D471 set run, leak bench | Mid | Balanced performance vs. cost; strong availability |
| Generic aftermarket (budget) | NBR, variable batches | Limited QA | Low | May harden sooner; watch for seep in hot climates |
| OEM dealer | BMW OE material | Full OE validation | High | Excellent fit; premium cost |
Need private-label packaging, a specific durometer, or kit bundling with bolts/O-rings? It’s doable. Typical lead times run 2–4 weeks for batch repeats. Origin: JULU INDUSTRY AREA, XINGTAI CITY, HEBEI PROVINCE, CHINA 055250. To be honest, stocking a dozen sets saves headaches during seasonal rushes.
