BMW Tools & Specialty Equipment for BMW Z Series E85/6 (2003-2008)

This tool comes in handy especially when working with an engine harness. Certain areas are always prone to corrosion and this tool makes having to re-pin a connector a breeze.

Unlike small screwdrivers, picks, and paper clips, these tools are the correct size and shape to remove and install tiny electrical pins and terminals at plastic block connectors with ease, and will not damage the connectors in the process.

Packaged in a blow molded case to keep everything secure and organized.

Schwaben offers the right tools to make your next project a success. Everything from complex engine scanners to brake bleeders and spring compressors, Schwaben tools has you covered.

Some of the recommended use include but are not limited to:

• Remove and install rear ball joints on E38, E39, E60/61, E63/64, E65/66, and E70's
• Removal and installation of ball joints and bushings on rear control arms on E36, E46, E39, E60/61, E63/64,  E65/66, E70, E83 and E85/86 Z4's
• Removal and installation of rear sub frame mounted differential bushings on E36, E46, E83 and E85/86 Z4's
• Removal and installation of rear differential mounted bushings on E36, E46, E9X, E60/61, E63/64, E65/66, and E85/86 Z4's

If you have ever attempted to do a valve job or cylinder head gasket project on an M42, M44, M50, or M52 engine you know that the repair manual will refer to the special BMW timing tool kit. This tool kit includes a flywheel locating lock pin, and a special set of camshaft locators that lock the cams in a precise location. The tools are very easy to install. The kit is specifically designed to hold the engine and cams in proper timing during the cylinder head removal and re installation process. This avoids the chance of bending the valves doing the head install process. The precision ground holding blocks lock over the square ends of both intake and exhaust cams. The CNC machined flywheel locating pin passes through a hole in the rear of the engine block and passed through a machined hole in the flywheel.

To avoid improper cam timing on the latest BMW engines, the factory has devised a cam timing system that locks the crankshaft and cams into a specific position prior to cylinder head removal. This method was devised to avoid any misalignment, resulting in piston to valve damage. Unfortunately without these tools re-timing the camshafts after a valve job is almost impossible. The factory specification manual does not supply installation specifications. This cam timing kit includes all the necessary components to do the job.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1990-1991 E30 BMW 318i 318is 318ic
1992-1998 E36 BMW 318i 318is 318ti 318ic 323is 323ic 325i 325is 325ic 328i 328is 328ic M3
