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

The timing chain in any vehicle can begin to stretch and rattle over time. This is a common issue, and though BMW says it is a lifetime part, most enthusiasts decide to change them. If you need only the timing chain instead of a kit, ECS Tuning has your replacement.

It is common for an unserviced timing belt to snap without warning, leaving you with bent valves and costly repairs.

 The timing belt on the M20 engine should be replaced every 50,000 miles. The Gates Racing's timing belt this kit includes  is constructed of HNBR elastomeric composites. That being said, they are 300% stronger than the OE belt & deliver up to three times the heat resistance. Also included in this kit are the following:

  • Gates Racing Timing Belt
  • Tensioner
  • Tensioner Spring and Bolt
  • Water Pump & Gasket
  • Thermostat & Gasket
  • Camshaft Seal
  • 1 Liter of Coolant
  • Radiator Drain Plug

This kit includes sufficient coolant for a water pump replacement. If you intend to perform additional cooling system maintenance, pick yourself up an additional bottle of coolant.
