Chain tensioner — a genuine BMW part, number 11 31 1 743 187. The number stamped on the part is 11311743187; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1743187. You will find it on our Engine shelf, under CAMSHAFT. It supersedes the older number 1727767, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits the E36 sedan, coupe, convertible and compact (318i and 318ti, 1992–1999), with the M42 or M44 engines.

BMW draws it on 5 diagrams, among them Timing and valve train-timing chain (11_1191) and Timing and valve train-timing chain (11_1370). It weighs about 77 g (0.2 lb).

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