M44 valve cover bolt seals: 15 not 14!!!

Wayne!

I ordered all the stuff listed to do the new valve cover gasket on my 318ti, but your page cites 14 valve cover bolt seals required, and it is 15 that are actually needed!!! I had to take an hour and a half in the middle of the job to run to the nearest dealer to get the last one. Ugh! Please correct that in your catalog for the next guy.

Thanks!

What year is your car? I double-checked, and the ETK seems to indicate 14, as do all my suppliers?

Six to port, six to starboard, one at the bow, one astern, and one between the first and second spark plugs.

6+6+2+1=15

on both M42 and M44 engines. Mine is a 1996, M44.

Ahh, I see, they don't seem to count that one in the middle!
