BMW Engine Parts for MINI

The solenoid is used to fasten the camshaft adjuster to the camshaft, and also controls the flow of oil into both camshaft adjusters. The central valve/oil control valve is crucial to proper VANOS operation.

If your central valve is worn, clogged, or was removed for camshaft service, replace it with this high-quality, exact fit piece from Bremmen Parts.

ECS Tuning presents magnetic drain plugs tailored for your BMW, equipped with a permanently mounted magnet to trap ferrous metal suspended in your oil. These plugs capture tiny particles, typically evading the oil filter, resulting in a cleaner engine. Over time, this saves your bearings and oil pump from unnecessary wear. Crafted from robust 7075-T6 aluminum, the ECS Tuning M12 magnetic drain plug boasts 80% more strength than the common 6061 aluminum.

• Permanently mounted magnet for metal particle trapping
• Cleaner engine and extended bearing life
• 7075-T6 aluminum construction for superior strength
• Captures metal particles from wearing or rebuilt engines
• Ideal for normal wear of reciprocating parts
• Torque to 18ft-lbs using a 17mm socket, like your stock drain plug

Unlike traditional BMW engines, modern engines, like the B48 and B58, use a volume-flow-regulated oil pump. Instead of providing a consistent volume of oil, these new systems control oil supply at each individual operating range.

This Control Valve Solenoid is a critical component in the volume-flow-regulated oiling system. This piece seamlessly adjusts the oil pressure based on inputs from the DME. In the event of failure, this means the engine oil supply system may become restricted.

Thankfully, Bremmen Parts offers this high-quality, OE replacement Control Valve Solenoid at a fraction of Genuine price. Built with durability and fitment in mind, this component is an exact fit for your BMW.

This solenoid valve controls variable camshaft timing, a common point of failure on aging, high-mileage engines.

When the SOLV fails or begins to function erratically, your vehicle may display fault codes such as 2A9A (Cam sensor, inlet signal invalid for synchronization) or 2A9B (exhaust camshaft sensor signal invalid for synchronization). This can cause poor operation, or even cause "limp mode".

Bremmen Parts offers a cost-effective solution for this issue. This high-quality, OE-replacement Solenoid Valve solves engine fault codes and ensures proper powertrain performance.

Features:

Regulates variable camshaft timing for optimized engine performance. Affordable OE-replacement option without compromising quality or functionality. Eliminates fault codes caused by a faulty SOLV, remedying limp mode operation. Features durable construction, built to withstand the demands of high-mileage engines. Designed for perfect fit and functionality. Includes sealing o-ring and electrical plug.

Enhance Your Mini's Drivetrain Longevity with ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs

Safeguard your Mini's drivetrain by using ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs, meticulously designed to eliminate abrasive metal particles from your fluid. These plugs, featuring permanent magnets, effectively attract and retain tiny abrasive and ferrous metal particles, preventing their circulation within the lubrication systems.

Various conditions, including normal wear of moving parts, inadequate post-machining flushing, casting flaws, or stress-induced component breakdown, can introduce metal particles. ECS Tuning's Magnetic Plugs are the solution, ensuring protection for crucial drivetrain components by capturing these particles.

• Removes abrasive metal particles for improved drivetrain longevity
• Engineered with permanent magnets for effective particle capture
• Guards against wear caused by metal particles in the lubrication system
• Includes 10 copper crush washers for replacement during oil service

The turbocharger oil supply line is one of the most common failure points on N14 and N18-equipped R5X MINIs. Responsible for delivering a steady stream of pressurized oil to the turbocharger’s center housing (CHRA), this line keeps the turbo’s bearings properly cooled and lubricated. Unfortunately, its location directly alongside the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter exposes it to extreme heat. Over time, this heat causes the oil inside the line to harden or “coke,” creating a permanent restriction that starves the turbo of vital lubrication.

MINI attempted to address this issue by adding a retrofit heat shield to N14 models, but the problem continues to plague MINI owners. Furthermore, the OEM banjo bolts rely on copper crush washers that become brittle and warp under heat, leading to persistent oil leaks at the back of the engine.

To eliminate these issues, ECS developed a high-performance replacement for the factory turbocharger oil feed line (11657534454). Built from premium stainless steel braided -4 AN hose and engineered to withstand the harsh thermal environment of the N14/N18 engine bay, this upgrade ensures consistent, dependable oil delivery. A PTFE inner lining provides exceptional chemical and temperature resistance, while black zinc–coated fittings and banjo bolts offer improved corrosion protection and long-term sealing. The result is a durable, leak-free solution that outperforms the factory design in every way.

Features:

-4 AN stainless steel braided hose eliminates the OE swivel fittings for superior sealing and consistent oil flow

PTFE inner lining delivers outstanding chemical and temperature resistance

Black-anodized aluminum AN fittings offer improved durability and a refined appearance

Black zinc–coated banjo bolts resist corrosion for a long-lasting repair

Includes four new crush washers to ensure proper sealing during installation

Whether you're fixing an oil leak or performing preventative maintenance, choose the ECS upgraded turbocharger oil feed line for lasting durability and leak-proof performance.

Upgrade your N14 N18 1.6L Engine with the Vent Hose. This hose connects to the top valve cover with a special hose clip end and extends to the bottom side of the intake manifold, ensuring optimal performance of your Mini. It's a crucial component of the intake system, designed to enhance engine efficiency and longevity.

• Ensures proper ventilation of the engine
• Connects securely to the valve cover and intake manifold
• Facilitates efficient airflow within the engine compartment
• Compatible with N14 N18 1.6L Engine models
• Easy to install and replace as needed
