Because it was written in German doesn't mean it was German! Noting a grammatical error (!), I looked up the manufacturer, Spesso, and they appear to be Italian, Home page

I am certainly not a BMW 328 expert but there is a Czech website, :: www.bmw328.net :: which offers spares for the BMW 328. On this website there is a picture of the original block and head gasket which I have copied into the attached file and compared with Eric's pictures. Lo and behold to my untrained eyes, the BMW appears also has that elusive hole!

Also don't forget that many BMW 328's have Bristol heads.

By the way the gasket on the Czech site costs 72 Euros!

Hope this is of interest
