BMW S50B32 VANOS SEAL KIT

Kit 001 (BMW S50B32 O-Ring Kit)

(prices updated 09/05/2023, BMW prices are from 2016)

Please contact me (sales[at]porterbility.co.uk). The kit costs £85 and postage is free within the UK. Please ask for postage prices from abroad.

I can supply a seal kit to overhaul the vanos on your BMW S50B32 engine. Unlike other kits, I will also provide a set of solenoid o-rings. The solenoid o-rings alone cost £50 from BMW.

All the O-Rings in the kit are VITON. I have used these seals to overhaul my vanos and my car now runs as sweet as a nut. It is said that the original BMW S62 solenoid o-rings have multiple facets that make them more than just simple VITON O-Rings. If you use the solenoid o-rings in my kit, you do so at your own risk.

Individual seals are available on request.
