Detailed Description

Febi 48386 is built for BMW camshaft timing applications where the original chain specification calls for a simplex, endless chain with 144 links and an 8.0 mm pitch.

It is listed for a broad range of BMW turbocharged inline-six models, including BMW Z4, BMW 335i, BMW 535i, and X6 applications covered by the fitment data. If you are servicing a BMW timing chain system and need the correct chain size and link count, Febi 48386 provides the specified configuration for those vehicles.
