This is a genuine BMW chain tensioner, part number 11 31 1 247 952. The number stamped on the part is 11311247952; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1247952. You will find it on our Engine shelf, under CAMSHAFT. It supersedes the older number 1739243, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits every E36 body style (318i, 1992–1999), with the M43 engine — and the European-market versions. It also fits the E46 sedan, coupe and touring (316i, 316i 1.6, 316i 1.9 and 318i, 1997–2001), with the M43 engine.

BMW draws it on 6 diagrams, among them Timing and valve train-timing chain (11_1391) and Timing and valve train-timing chain (11_2060). It weighs about 150 g (0.3 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
