Timing jobs are not for the faint of heart. If you're brave, mechanically competent, or both - we have all of the timing related components for your BMW that you could possibly need.
Timing chains can cause catastrophic problems with your N52 engine if it doesn't function properly. Common symptoms of failure include excessive vibration or “slap” from the timing chain, and the possibility of plastic particles throughout the oil. Symptoms typically begin to surface between 80,000 and 100,000 miles. If left untouched, the issue can compound itself so far as to allow the timing chain to jump out of time, leaving you with a potentially damaged head and larger repair costs. This kit has been assembled using genuine BMW and high quality aftermarket components. From new timing chain guides, to a replacement oil pan drain plug, this kit has you covered to assure that all the needed parts are on hand and ready to install.

The N55 in your BMW is an interference engine, meaning that if the timing chain were to fail your engine would suffer catastrophic damage due to valvetrain components colliding with each other. Over time the timing chain will start to wear and stretch, potentially causing it to skip timing or just completely fail. Also, the timing tensioners themselves could fail! Early symptoms of timing chain wear include front end noise not associated with VANOS, or slapping noises coming from the timing cover. Turner Motorsport has assembled a complete kit that includes everything necessary, as well as small hardware, to completely service the timing on your N55. Tools needed to do the job can be found on our site as well.
