The MMX Performance Vanos Cover Set for the BMW E9X M3 S65 tackles a problem every owner of this engine has heard whispers about. The factory covers, made from plastic, tend to crack, break, or even come loose as the years add up. In the worst cases, they can drop pieces into the oil system—blocking the pickup and risking oil starvation. That kind of failure isn’t just inconvenient; it can spell the end for an S65. The fault isn’t with the design itself but the material BMW chose for those original pieces.
This kit fixes that story for good. Each cover is CNC-machined from high-grade 6062-T6 aluminium, built as a direct replacement for the brittle factory parts. The strength of the alloy means no more worries about fatigue or aging plastic. To take things further, the internal springs remain fully enclosed, a detail that adds an extra layer of protection and reliability compared with other aftermarket versions.
Fitting the covers is straightforward—no specialist tools, no complicated process. They clip securely into place, making the upgrade as stress-free as possible. Once installed, the anodised black finish gives them a neat, OE-style look that sits naturally in the S65 engine bay without drawing unnecessary attention.
BMW doesn’t sell the plastic covers on their own, which leaves many owners with only one option: paying for an entire VANOS unit. The MMX solution avoids that expensive route. It’s more durable, more practical, and built to safeguard the S65 for the long run. Like all MMX products, the covers are engineered and produced in the UK with the same focus on function, strength, and detail.
It’s a simple change with a big payoff—lasting protection and real peace of mind for one of BMW’s most celebrated engines.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.
- Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
- Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
- Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
- Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
