The car runs great with the new 94 mm bore.

Timing chain guides and chains was also replaced.

It pulls much harder in the low revs.

"you are right, your car has no Vanos - but the part number for the head gasket is correct - it is the same for all B10 V8.

Axel Rimpler from Alpina informed about these X5 4.6 IS part numbers.

Zyl. 1-4 BMW 11 12 7 519 406
Zyl. 5-8 BMW 11 12 7 519 410

Before the X5 4.6 IS you had to use reworked M5 head gaskets.

The X5 4.6 IS head gaskets fits the single vanos and the older B10 V8
