BMW Engine Parts for BMW 5 Series E60 (2004-2010)

Upgrade your stock oil cooler thermostat for improved performance. Swap out your existing cover with ease, replacing it with a durable billet cover. Upgrade from your 110-degree Celsius thermostat to a new 70-degree Celsius version for faster oil flow and extended temperature control. With oil temperatures reaching 230 degrees Fahrenheit by the time your factory thermostat opens, initiating oil flow at lower temperatures proves more effective than attempting to cool down already elevated temperatures.

Utilizing a factory-style thermostat, this upgrade can be used in all weather conditions and allows your engine to warm up properly unlike thermostat bypass kits.

Perfect for DIY enthusiasts, this all-in-one kit has everything you need to refresh your ignition system! With just one click, you'll get high-quality, matching replacement parts, making it simpler than ever to service and restore your ignition system.

If you're noticing misfires, poor fuel economy, reduced engine performance, or ignition-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), a failing ignition coil is likely the cause. Late-model BMWs, such as the E60 M5, E63 M6, and E64 M6, use a coil-on-plug ignition system, where each cylinder has its own coil and spark plug for efficient ignition. When a coil fails, the affected cylinder won't receive a spark and will misfire. Even if the misfire doesn’t trigger a DTC, you’ll still feel the difference in engine performance—rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, or a strong fuel smell. To avoid these issues, we recommend replacing your ignition coils every 40,000-60,000 miles.

The S85's MSS65 DME uses a unique ignition system known as Ionic Current Control. BMW engineers developed this system to more accurately detect pre-ignition and misfires in the high-revving, ten-cylinder S85. Instead of relying on conventional knock sensors, the system uses each spark plug as a current probe, applying a low voltage to the electrode immediately after the power stroke and sending the resulting current to the Ionic Current Control Unit (ISS) for evaluation. This allows for precise monitoring of combustion events. To support this, the S85’s ignition coils are specially designed with a modified “pencil” shape and lack the typical Zener diode in the secondary winding, allowing for accurate current measurements without triggering fault codes in the engine control unit (DME). Bavarian Autosport ignition coils are manufactured to the exact specifications of the OE Ionic Current Control-compatible ignition coils, and will not trigger ignition-related fault codes in the DME.

Bavarian Autosport ignition coils are engineered for reliability, delivering a consistent, long-lasting spark. These high-quality OE replacement coils are specifically designed for your S85-powered E60 M5, E63 M6, or E64 M6. Constructed with durable, heat-resistant plastic and featuring premium rubber spark plug boots, each boot is pre-lubricated with dielectric grease to ensure smooth installation and prevent corrosion.

BMW N52 3.0L, N55 3.0L Timing Chain Tensioner With Guard Rail

Ensure proper engine performance and prevent catastrophic damage with the BMW N52 3.0L, N55 3.0L Timing Chain Tensioner With Guard Rail. This essential component maintains tension on the timing chain, preventing slack that can lead to skipped teeth and engine failure.

Benefits:

• Maintains proper tension on the timing chain
• Prevents skipped teeth and potential engine damage
• Includes guard rail for added protection
• Quiets noisy timing chains

Keep your BMW engine running smoothly and reliably with the BMW N52 3.0L, N55 3.0L Timing Chain Tensioner With Guard Rail.

The S85 engine has a known history of rod bearing failure. If your engine is higher mileage, don't let this catastrophic failure happen to you. Replace your rod bearings and prevent a spun bearing, a failure that has the potential to trash your crankshaft.

What is WPC, you ask? WPC is a surface treatment that reduces friction and adds strength - two improvements that benefit internal engine components. Ultra-fine particles are fired at the surface at very high speeds, like shot-peening - but much, much smaller. The parts come out smoother and stronger due to thermal discharge. The two largest enemies of any high-performance engine are heat and friction - and WPC has found a way to reduce both. What are you waiting for? Use WPC-treated bearings on your next engine build or rod bearing service!

This eccentric shaft is a vital component of your BMW's N55 Valvetronic system, responsible for precise control of valve lift. In the N55 engine, the Valvetronic system uses intermediate levers between the camshaft and lifters to adjust valve lift dynamically. These levers are actuated by this eccentric shaft, which is rotated by an electronically controlled motor under the direction of the engine computer.

Eccentric shaft failure is a common issue in N55 engines, often caused by inadequate lubrication due to extended oil change intervals. The most frequent failure occurs when the eccentric shaft gear wears down, leading to disengagement from the motor's worm drive. Symptoms include multiple fault codes, such as P1014 (Shaft Parity Error), P1017 (Shaft Sensor Plausibility), P1023 (Valvetronic Adjustment Range), and P10E1 (Valvetronic System No Travel Detected).

If your BMW is experiencing Valvetronic-related fault codes, a failing eccentric shaft could be the source of the problem. Opt for this premium direct replacement from Bremmen Parts to restore your Valvetronic system's functionality and ensure a durable, high-quality repair.

This Valvetronic variable valve timing actuator is designed to optimize engine performance by adjusting the eccentric shaft, effectively increasing or decreasing valve lift and duration as needed. By dynamically controlling valve timing, it enhances power delivery, fuel efficiency, and overall driving performance.

A failing actuator can lead to noticeable power loss, reduced performance, and an illuminated check engine light. Restore your BMW's performance with this premium replacement from Bremmen Parts, designed to meet or exceed OE specifications.
