The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for 98 and up BMW 320, 328, 528, and Z3 models with a 2.5L M54tu engine is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding engine conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, excellent rebound properties, and superior corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with a Viton rubber-based material, which is heat resistant up to 2500°C (4820°F). This coating ensures reliable sealing in harsh environments, while the center shim layer provides precise thickness and durability, making it suitable for high-performance applications.

This gasket is engineered for BMW models from 1998 onward, specifically for 2.5L engines with an 85mm bore. It is a direct replacement for OEM head gaskets, ensuring proper fitment and sealing integrity. Ideal for engine rebuilds, performance upgrades, or restoring factory specifications, this MLS gasket is suitable for street and track use. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself. Compatibility is specific to the listed BMW models with the M54 engine, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Overview

The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of Stainless Steel. Cometic uses Stainless steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound and corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The Viton coating is heat resistant to 2500C or 4820F.

The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated Stainless Steel layer, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks.

The composition of MLS will also withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. No re-torque is necessary. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque load across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
