The Genuine BMW Timing Chain Guide 11317592850<\/strong> is an important component of the engine’s timing system. Also known as a slide rail, chain guide, guide rail or tensioner rail<\/strong>, it helps guide and control the timing chain as it operates inside the engine.<\/p>\n BMW OE number 11317592850<\/strong>, written as 11 31 7 592 850<\/strong>, is the updated replacement for earlier BMW timing-chain guide numbers 11317516079<\/strong> and 11317584651<\/strong>. BMW parts catalogues identify it as a genuine BMW slide rail \/ timing chain guide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The guide rail is designed to work with the timing chain and tensioning system to maintain proper chain movement. A worn or damaged guide can contribute to excessive timing-chain movement and, in severe cases, allow the chain to move out of its intended timing position.<\/p>\n The timing chain is responsible for synchronizing the crankshaft and camshaft(s), allowing the engine’s valves to open and close at the correct time.<\/p>\n The 11317592850 slide rail<\/strong> provides a controlled surface for the timing chain and forms part of the chain-guiding system. It works together with the timing chain, tensioner and other guide rails.<\/p>\n A worn timing-chain guide may contribute to:<\/p>\n A proper inspection should normally include the timing chain, tensioner and guide rails<\/strong> rather than replacing only one component without checking the rest of the system.<\/p>\n BMW 11317592850 is used across a wide range of BMW petrol-engine applications. Catalogue data identifies applications including 3.0L petrol engines, selected 2.0L engines and later 3.0L petrol engines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Examples of documented applications include:<\/p>\n Specific engine applications include selected N52, N55 and N20<\/strong> petrol engines. For example, the part is listed for BMW E60 525i\/528i\/530i with N52, E70 X5 applications, E71 X6 xDrive35i with N55, E84 X1 sDrive28i with N20, and selected E82 128i\/135i applications.<\/p>\n RealOEM also lists the part in the timing-chain system of the BMW Z4 E86 3.0si<\/strong> and documents the earlier part numbers that it supersedes.<\/p>\n Because 11317592850 is used across several BMW engine families<\/strong>, the exact application must be confirmed using the vehicle’s VIN\/chassis number, engine and production date<\/strong> before ordering.<\/p>\n Timing-chain guide rails are exposed to continuous chain movement and engine operating temperatures. If a guide becomes worn or damaged, it can affect how the chain is controlled.<\/p>\n Replacing a worn guide can help:<\/p>\n ECS Tuning recommends replacing the guide when wear is detected because damaged timing components can allow the chain to skip timing and potentially result in more serious engine problems.<\/p>\n The Genuine BMW 11317592850<\/strong> is the current replacement for earlier guide-rail numbers 11317516079<\/strong> and 11317584651<\/strong>. This makes it particularly important when replacing an older timing-chain guide during an engine repair or timing-chain service.<\/p>\n Looking for a BMW timing chain guide in Nairobi<\/strong>?<\/p>\n Bavarian Trading Company Limited<\/strong> supplies genuine and OEM-quality BMW spare parts in Nairobi.
