Confirm engine code, OE number, and model year before installation. Timing chain service requires accurate camshaft and crankshaft timing alignment, so follow BMW service procedures and replace worn timing components only after verifying the full application. The V20-10015-BEK should be matched to the vehicle by OE reference and fitment notes, especially on BMW 540i and BMW 740iL applications where year and position vary.

Quality Assurance

Vaico’s Expert Kits+ line groups the required timing-service parts into a single kit format for organized repair planning. Verify all application details against OE number 11311741746 and the listed fitment before installation.
