Firstly, it would seem BMW have improved the design if yours is an older model car. This gasket edge sits higher by 1/4 inch which allows for better compression and air seal. Make sure to use gasket sealant on the corners of the " D's " and by vanos seal. Just check online for pictures. You must also order the new bolt rubber seals, do not reuse the old ones. The bolt seals also are an improved designed for better compression ( no lean vacuum error messages yay !! ) Tighten bolts from middle to edges in a chriss cross pattern until bolts bottom out, do not over tighten, there is no need.
