Camshafts for BMW X Series E53 (2000-2006)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

The camshafts are responsible for opening and closing the valves in time with the movement of the pistons. Sometimes the lobes can become worn or scored, necessitating a replacement of the entire shaft. Performance options are also available with more aggressive cam profiles that allow increased lift and duration.

If you're not sure if your Vanos seals are bad then the only question you need to answer is if you've replaced them. Every unit from the factory came with the same failure prone o-rings and seals, even the re-manufactured units you can still get today. The only real fix is by replacing the seals and o-rings with material that is built to last in the oiled, extreme temperature environment found in these kits. 

A premium product replacement with easy to follow instructions makes rebuilding your Vanos unit a must. Even thought the power loss is barely felt it's the opposite result once you replace the seals, every car that gets rebuilt ends up wowing the customer and all of them saying they didn't realize what they lost. 

There are a number of symptoms that will plague your car as a result of these failing seals such as erratic idle, engine hesitation, stalling, and increased fuel consumption to name a few. If you've been chasing down any of these symptoms with no fix then this could be your issue.

The camshaft adjustment unit, also referred to as an engine timing sprocket or camshaft sprocket, is part of your BMW's VANOS system which controls the position of the camshaft and valves. If your sprocket has failed, it will be unable to properly adjust the camshaft timing. This can result in poor or delayed performance and efficiency which negatively affects driveability and engine power. This OEM Kolbenschmidt sprocket is the perfect option to restore proper timing functionality without the high BMW price tag.
