Exhaust Camshaft

The Genuine BMW exhaust camshaft is engineered as a direct replacement part for specific BMW engines, focusing on the precise control of exhaust valve timing. This component is crucial for engine operation, working in conjunction with the crankshaft through the timing system to ensure optimal valve lift and duration during the combustion cycle. Manufactured in Germany, this part upholds the stringent quality standards expected of Genuine BMW components. An engine camshaft's primary function is to actuate the intake and exhaust valves, dictating the flow of air-fuel mixture into the cylinders and the expulsion of exhaust gases. When a camshaft wears or fails, symptoms can include tapping or ticking noises from the engine, noticeable power loss, misfires, or a rough idle due to improper valve operation and timing. This outlet camshaft is compatible with a range of BMW models, including the 135i, 335i, 335i GT xDrive, 335i xDrive, 435i, 435i Gran Coupe, 435i xDrive, 435i xDrive Gran Coupe, 535i, and 535i GT. It is specifically designed for models equipped with the N55B30A 3.0L L6 Gas engine and, in some cases, the N55/S55 3.0L engine. Fitment extends across various model years, generally from 2010 through 2017, depending on the specific vehicle and submodel. It is important to note that this exhaust camshaft is specifically for the N55B30A 3.0L engine variants and is not compatible with diesel engines (like the M57T2D30) or V8 engines (like the S63B44A or N63B44A/B). Ensure your vehicle's engine specification matches the requirements for this part to guarantee proper fitment and function.
