No other belts protect your engine while delivering powerfully high performance like Gates Racing, Performance, Muscle (RPM) Timing Belts. Gates RPM Timing Belts are incredibly strong and extremely heat resistant, engineered to take on high speeds and rapid accelerations. Constructed of HNBR elastomeric composites, Gates RPM Timing Belts are as much as 300% stronger than stock belts and deliver up to three times the heat resistance. You can count on RPM to hold up to the rigors of high horsepower required for interference engines. Superior construction provides up to three times the heat resistance, wear resistance, and performance. Belt tooth jacket is reinforced with high-performance nylon material to minimize wear. High-strength tensile cords withstand higher horsepower, for timing belts that can hold up with interference engines. Specially formulated HSN rubber compound to improve strength and resist degradation due to contact with engine fluids.

The timing chain tensioner from the 1995 E36 M3 is a great upgrade for other Motorsport models - 1988-1991 E30 M3 and 1989-1995 E34 M5! This tensioner virtually eliminates the cold start-up engine rattle so common with the S14 and S38 engines. It makes the whole engine quieter and smoother. Any new tensioner will accomplish that but the S50 tensioner has several new features that make it superior to the original design. This unit also has a internally loaded spring, so installation is much easier than the old style tensioner (no need to squeeze the spring and hold it while installing). Includes oil seal ring (not pictured).

This item fits the following BMWs:
1985-1989 E24 BMW M635CSi M6 - M88/3, S38B35 engine
1988 E28 BMW M5 - M88/3, S38B35 engine
1988-1991 E30 BMW M3 - S14 engine
1989-1995 E34 BMW M5 - S38 engine
1995 E36 BMW M3 - S50B30US engine
1994-1999 E36 BMW M3 Euro - S50B30 and S50B32 engines

The M20 engine's timing belt should be replaced every 50,000 miles. BMW calls out a 60,000 mile interval, but there are numerous reports of belts slipping or snapping before this interval is up. We recommend performing this service with INA's timing belt and tensioner roller kit, which includes the two most common wear items in the timing system.
