The engines crankshaft takes all of the explosive energy from the pistons and translates this to the drivetrain. When bearings spin due to improper maintenance or oil starvation, the shaft can become scored and is no longer serviceable. Turner carries Genuine BMW replacements that fit and perform exactly as intended
Both the N55 and S55 engines are plagued by the same issue when chasing high horsepower numbers... the dreaded crankhub failure. Fortunately MMR Performance has released an upgraded version of their already stout single-piece crankhub, but this time offering a 4-pin dowelled location that locks onto the front of the crankshaft. This configuration eliminates the multi-piece crankhub with friction discs in favor of a more robust single piece crankhub. Recommended for high-powered cars over 700 Horsepower

Anyone with a modified N55/S55 knows the risks involved with the OEM Crank Hub. When the engine simply can't handle the stresses its put under or the design is such that it simply does not support extreme conditions, issues can arise. Under certain conditions, the N55/S55 crank hub likes to spin, without warning and even when the engine is in perfect health. MMR has produced a EN36 machined billet one-piece crank hub heat treated with a 0.75mm case hardening which makes it extremely durable. Due to the one-piece design, it ensures that the friction plates cannot slip. This offers a huge jump in reliability when paired with a new properly torques crank bolt. Installation is requires no drilling or modification to the OEM crankshaft ensuring a perfect fit! Included in this kit is MMR's T-6061 machined billet aluminum capture plate anodized in their trademark finish. The MMR Performance capture plate secures the head of the OE crank bolt and prevents it from turning or being able to loosen. *Installation recommended by a professional shop or technician.
