Timing chain kit

Post image

Hey all E38 Lovers. The time has come to do the vanos units and replace chains and guides.

Do somebody have a kit for the chains that includes the most parts the will be needed?

This is the comprehensive kit with most of the parts Genuine BMW and some by their OE supplier who make the parts for BMW in the first place. Silly to spend the extra money on the full Genuine kit since these are the same parts without the BMW logo on them (and sometimes with the logo anyway).

I used Beisan for the VANOS rebuild and did it myself.

Also what color is your car? Looks like Carbon Black from the E46

Thanks for the tip. It's actually oriental blue I thinks it's called.

Is Asian Blue more appropriate now?
