Compensating element — a genuine BMW part, number 11 33 7 512 116. The number stamped on the part is 11337512116; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7512116. You will find it on our Engine shelf, under Rocker arms with bearings.

It fits every E46 body style (316i, 316ti, 318i and 318ti, 2001–2004), with the N40, N42, N45 or N46 engines.

BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Valve timing gear, camshaft, inlet (11_3176) and Valve timing gear, camshaft, outlet (11_3196). It weighs about 20 g (under 0.1 lb).
