    Is M20B20 Head Gasket etc. Available in U.S.?

    I need a head gasket --- and probably more engine parts --- for the M20B in my 320i Baur. Looking on RealOem, the head gasket is NOT the same part number as it would be for A U.S.-spec engineMy question: does any parts place carry Eurospec stuff on this side of the pond? I can't find any of those parts available stateside by doing a conventional online search. It would be worth it to me to pay a bit more and save $$$ and time on the shipping.

    For those who are curious, I have at least a blown head gasket (if I'm lucky); I found motor oil in the coolant.

    Have you checked FCPEuro? If they don't have it on their site, I'd reach out to them. If they don't actively sell it, there's a good chance they can source it.

          Thanks, guys; somebody elsewhere also suggested Maximillian Imports. I'll try all of these resources.

              Many parts are approximately 30% cheaper to buy in Europe.
              If they are not expensive to ship, and your package is below $800, you won't overpay.

                      har har har jk, I have a shop, so I have access to suppliers that most people do not have access to.

                      I am currently holding this head gasket in my hand.

                        It wasn't as hard as I thought:



                        Extensive gasket and seal package for M20 work above the engine block. OEM equivalent to BMW part #11129059248
