Continuous thermal cycling and prolonged oil service intervals cause the OEM guides to fatigue, crack, and disintegrate. Dislodged plastic shards migrate into the oil pan, blocking the oil pump pickup tube and inducing critical oil starvation. Concurrently, slack in the timing chain causes mechanical timing slip, leading to bent valves and catastrophic piston-to-valve contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive kit delivers high-tensile alloy steel link chains engineered for minimal elongation and superior fatigue resistance. Paired with thermal-stabilized polymer chain guides and a recalibrated hydraulic tensioner, this assembly maintains constant chain tension across fluctuating operating pressures. The included secondary oil pump drive chain, gear set, and crank sprocket ensure uninterrupted bottom-end lubrication under demanding load conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Engine Timing Chain Guides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Engine Timing Chain Tensioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Engine Oil Pump Chain Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 Engine Timing Guides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Engine Timing Crankshaft Sprocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Engine Timing Chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Engine Oil Pump Drive Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Engine Timing Gasket Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2012-2016 BMW 328i\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN20\/N26 2.0L \/ F30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e240 hp \/ 255 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e11317592877, 11317592850, 11318648732\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012-2016 BMW 328i Sedan (2.0L N20\/N26)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012-2016 BMW 328i xDrive (2.0L N20\/N26)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012-2016 BMW 328i sDrive (2.0L N20\/N26)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the F30 328i?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2012-2016 BMW 328i equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eN20\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eN26\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0L engine; it does not fit models with the six-cylinder N55 engine or B48 engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAre critical replacement gaskets and fasteners included?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the kit includes an engine timing gasket set, though professional installation with factory timing locking tools and strict adherence to OE torque specifications is mandatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe BMW Precision Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to meet stringent European tolerance parameters, this assembly restores OEM timing precision to prevent check engine lights and safeguard Valvetronic operation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545138036984,"sku":"DS-E3Y8JG4LK","price":189.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-timing-chain-kit-for-bmw-328i-2012-2016-2-0l-1.jpg?v=1790717613","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/performance-timing-chain-kit-for-bmw-328i-2012-2016-2-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
