BMW Engine Exhaust Camshaft Adjuster – Replaces OE 11361707315 - Fits E46, E81 & E84 118i 120i N42 N46 Models

Restore proper exhaust camshaft timing and help eliminate common timing-related drivability issues with this replacement Exhaust Camshaft Adjuster for BMW N42 and N46 engines. This component is a key part of the engine’s variable valve timing system, helping regulate exhaust cam timing for proper performance, efficiency, and smooth engine operation across different driving conditions.

As the factory exhaust camshaft adjuster wears over time, the engine can begin to show symptoms such as rough idle, hesitation, inconsistent power delivery, fault codes, and reduced responsiveness. On aging N42 and N46 engines, this is one of the important components to inspect when diagnosing timing-related issues or restoring proper VANOS function.

This replacement exhaust camshaft adjuster is designed to match the original fit and function of the factory unit and serves as a direct replacement for OE part number 11361707315. It is a smart repair solution for BMW owners dealing with worn timing components or looking to refresh critical engine hardware before bigger issues develop.
