BMW M54 Oil Filter Housing Gasket

I'm replacing a leaking oil-filter-housing gasket on an M54-powered BMW Z4. If you have oil collecting around the housing, this is the repair area to inspect before assuming the leak is coming from deeper inside the engine.

What you’ll see in this one

The gasket lives at the interface between the housing and engine. Check where the oil starts before ordering parts; nearby leaks can run into the same area.

A closer look at this job

This BMW M54 Z4 video focuses on the oil-filter-housing gasket, often abbreviated OFHG. The project covers accessing the housing, replacing its seal and reassembling the area. Oil visible near the housing can also originate elsewhere, so tracing the start of a leak remains important. Related searches include M54 oil-filter-stand gasket and BMW Z4 oil leak. This is specific to the M54 engine; verify any N51, N52 or N54 repair differences before using it on another BMW.
