Why Choose Our BMW N52 Intake Camshaft (11317563664)?
- Factory-Direct Pricing and Quality Control: We manufacture camshafts in our own plant, so you deal directly with the source. Each BMW 11317563664 Intake Camshaft for BMW 3 Series, X3, and Z4 moves through five inspection stages: raw material verification, post-forging ultrasonic testing, CNC machining dimensional checks, surface hardness measurement, and final visual inspection. We keep rejection rates below 0.5 percent by monitoring tolerances at every stage rather than sampling finished batches. This makes it suitable for distributors and workshops sourcing an inlet camshaft for BMW petrol engine platforms rather than relying on mixed aftermarket stock.
- OEM-Level Dimensional Accuracy: Journal diameters hold within ±0.01 mm, and lobe lift profiles match BMW specifications. We use the same coordinate measuring machines that tier-one suppliers employ, verifying each camshaft against digital master files. You can install our parts using standard BMW timing tools and procedures without adjusting tensioners or repositioning VANOS units. This makes the part suitable for workshops and distributors sourcing from a long-term BMW intake camshaft supplier rather than spot-market stock.
- Responsive Technical Support: If you encounter fitment questions or need installation guidance, our technical team responds within 24 hours. We provide CAD drawings, material certificates, and inspection reports on request. For recurring orders, we keep your preferred shipping method and contact details on file to simplify reordering.
FAQ
1. What causes intake camshaft wear on N52 engines?
Extended oil change intervals and low-quality engine oil accelerate lobe wear. Carbon buildup in the VANOS solenoid can also create excessive friction between the camshaft and followers. Many technicians see noticeable wear patterns after 100,000 miles if owners skip oil changes or use non-LL-01 rated lubricants.
2. Should I replace both camshafts when changing the BMW N52 intake camshaft?
You can replace the inlet camshaft alone if the exhaust side shows no wear. However, if mileage exceeds 120,000 miles or you find scoring on one camshaft, inspect the other. Replacing both simultaneously saves labour and ensures matched wear characteristics.
3. How do I identify intake camshaft failure symptoms?
Watch for rough idle when the engine is warm, hesitation during acceleration, and fault codes P0010 (intake camshaft position actuator circuit) or P0011 (intake camshaft position timing over-advanced). Mechanical noise from the valve cover, especially a ticking or tapping sound, often indicates worn lobes or damaged followers.
4. Does the BMW 11317563664 camshaft replacement part fit all N52 variants?
It covers most N52B25 and N52B30 setups, but confirm with your vehicle’s VIN for non-standard modifications.
5. What is the difference between 11317563664 and 11317563665 camshafts?
11317563664 fits the intake side, while 11317563665 serves the exhaust side. Lobe profiles differ to match intake and exhaust valve timing requirements. Installing the wrong camshaft causes poor engine performance and potential valve collision.
6. Is this a suitable BMW 11317563664 camshaft replacement part for rough idle cases?
If the rough idle is linked to intake camshaft wear, timing deviation, or inconsistent valve opening, replacing the BMW 11317563664 Intake Camshaft can be part of an effective repair strategy. In workshop practice, this often applies when lobe wear affects VANOS response or valve timing stability. However, if rough idle is caused by vacuum leaks, ignition faults, or injector imbalance, camshaft replacement alone will not resolve the issue and further diagnosis is required.
7. Do you supply camshafts for both 2.5 L and 3.0 L N52 engines?
Yes. The same intake camshaft design fits N52B25 and N52B30 variants. BMW engineers standardised many internal components across displacement ranges within the N52 family, simplifying parts inventories for repair shops.
8. How should I store unused camshafts?
Keep camshafts in a dry environment, preferably in the original packaging. Coat lobes with a light layer of engine oil if you plan to store them for more than six months. Avoid placing heavy objects on camshafts, as concentrated pressure can deform journals.
9. Do you offer 11317563664 intake camshaft wholesale for European distributors?
Yes. We support wholesale supply programmes for professional distributors, engine rebuilders, and trade customers across Europe. Orders of the BMW 11317563664 Intake Camshaft are supplied directly from our factory, allowing distributors to manage local buffer stock while maintaining consistent batch quality and traceability across repeat orders.
10. Is this an aftermarket intake camshaft 11317563664 or genuine BMW?
This is an OEM-quality aftermarket replacement part, manufactured to the same technical drawings and material specifications as the original BMW component.
11. Is this camshaft 11317563664 for BMW 3 Series / X3 / Z4 a direct OEM match?
Yes, it bolts on without adjustments, matching lobe geometry and bearing journals.
12. How is stock handled if there is no warehouse in Europe?
All BMW 11317563664 Intake Camshaft orders ship from our factory. Distributors in Europe usually build a local buffer stock and replenish based on lead time and their sales data.
