Gasket Set for BMW 3 Series: Zinc Plated Steel
This gasket set for the BMW 3 Series is specified around zinc plated steel, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is reorders that did not match the approved sample, or lead time that slipped twice before bulk started. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

The specification above is the one most often ordered for construction sites. Related applications include security patrols, passenger transport, coastal delivery, construction sites, daily commuting.
Quality and packing
- In-line inspection with AQL 4.0 sampling on every lot.

Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. RoHS documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
