ATHENA 330022R reinforced head gasket for BMW 323i e46

Discover the ATHENA reinforced head gasket for BMW 323i e46, a premium product designed by the Italian brand Athena, renowned for its expertise in manufacturing gaskets for industrial applications. Thanks to its know-how and commitment to motor sports, Athena has established itself as an essential reference in motor racing.

Every Athena head gasket is manufactured entirely in Italy, from design to production. The range is divided into two distinct categories:

• Reinforced cylinder head gaskets: Designed for very high-performance applications, these gaskets feature an innovative composition and a reinforced structure. The metal rings around the combustion chambers allow them to withstand boost pressures above 2 bars and the use of NOS.
• Standard cylinder head gaskets: Ideal for moderately tuned engines, these gaskets are made from several layers of shape-memory stainless steel. They fit the surfaces of your engine block and cylinder head perfectly, ensuring better sealing and durability than original gaskets.

Available in several bores and thicknesses, Athena gaskets support your engine throughout its service life. Here are some compatible BMW models:

• BMW 323i Cabrio E46 Cabriolet (2000-04 to 2000-09) Petrol 2.5 24V 163CV RWD
