BMW M3 NRW Design Valve Cover Upgrade DIY (2008-2013 BMW E90, E92, E93 M3)

►Magnesium alloys are lightweight and robust but very susceptible to corrosion. Few know that better than E9X M3 owners whose magnesium valve covers leak because of that. On top of that being another hassle of ownership, they're expensive to replace and guaranteed to do it again. But what if there was a better option?
NRW Design offers a set of aluminum valve covers identical to the Genuine magnesium pieces. They're just as strong but without the microporous metallurgy and corrosive tendencies. They carry a lifetime warranty against failures. They're available raw or powder-coated in several colors to liven up the engine bay.
In this video, FCP Euro's BMW Expert, Gareth Foley, replaces a set of BMW E92 M3 valve covers.

Did they do something similar for the inline turbo 6? N54, N55, hell even the N52?

I think I just found them lol. Good shit. Always wanted to ditch the vanity cover on my 335d and I found a nice black plastic one I believe and aluminum ones.
