This kit is designed for BMW M60 and M62 engines and fits specific models/years listed in the product description (for example E34, E32, E38, E31, E39 variants from early 1990s to early 2000s). It also covers certain Morgan Aero 8 models (2000–2004). Check the detailed application list or compare your engine code (M60B30, M60B40, M62B35, M62TUB35, M62B44, M62TUB44, etc.) before purchasing.
No — this is an aftermarket timing tool kit made to match OEM part numbers and functionality. The components are described as 'like OEM' for parts such as 116420, 117380, 116440, 116450, 112440, 114230, 112300, 115180 and 113310.
The master set includes tools for camshaft alignment and timing: solenoid valve insert (like OEM 116420), control chain support block (117380), camshaft locking/adjustment tools (116440, 116450, 112440), control chain clamping tool (114230), crankshaft fixation pin (112300), fixing mandrel for flywheel OT-point E53 x5 (115180), plus two fixing pins for the second chain clamp (113310).
Yes. The kit is intended to perform camshaft alignment/timing and timing chain operations on the supported M60 and M62 engines (camshaft timing on M60; camshaft and timing on M62).
The tools have clear markings and are user-friendly, but the product does not specify a detailed installation manual. It is recommended you follow the BMW service manual or workshop guide for correct procedures, torque specs and safety steps.
The box color is random. The color does not affect the tools or their function — it is simply the exterior storage container.
The kit is described as having high-quality construction intended to withstand rigorous use. Many professional and DIY users find aftermarket kits like this suitable, but professional shops may prefer genuine OEM tools for warranty-backed use.
Confirm your engine code and model/year against the application list in the product description. If unsure, check your vehicle's engine plate/service documents or contact the seller with your VIN and engine code for verification.
The kit focuses on timing alignment and fixation tools (camshaft pins, chain clamps, crankshaft fixation pins, etc.). It does not list general torque wrenches, sockets, or a separate crank pulley holding tool beyond the described crank fixation/flywheel mandrel. You may need additional common workshop tools.
They are manufactured to emulate the function and fit of the OEM tools and are listed as 'like OEM' for the referenced part numbers. While compatible in most cases, they are not BMW-branded genuine parts.
After use, clean off oil and debris, lightly oil contact surfaces to prevent rust, store tools in the supplied case in a dry place, and avoid impacts that could deform pins or alignment surfaces.
Warranty and return terms depend on the seller or distributor. Check the product listing or contact the seller/manufacturer (maXpeedingrods) for details on warranty coverage, defective-item procedures and return windows.
Always disconnect the battery, follow the vehicle service manual to set the engine to TDC, use proper lifting/support equipment, avoid forcing tools, and verify alignment marks before reassembly. Improper timing can cause severe engine damage—if unsure, have a qualified technician perform the work.
