Repeated thermal cycling and extended oil service intervals embrittle the OEM nylon guides, causing them to fracture under dynamic tension. Plastic debris drops into the oil pan, clogging the oil pickup tube and starving the bottom-end bearings. Concurrently, elongated factory chains generate slack that bypasses the hydraulic tensioner, causing cam timing to jump, retarding VANOS operation, and risking bent valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive service kit addresses known OEM failure points with reinforced, heat-stabilized composite guide rails designed to withstand sustained oil temperatures without cracking. The link-plate timing chain and oil pump drive chain are manufactured from heat-treated, high-tensile alloy steel to resist pitch elongation and fatigue under high-rpm torsional loads. Precision-machined sprockets ensure true chain engagement, eliminating lash and dampening harmonic resonance across the valvetrain.\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: solid font-size: min-width:\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;\"\u003e2013-2016 BMW X3\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;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eN20 \/ N26\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eF25\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\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 \/ 260 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;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e11317592877\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e11317592850\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e11318648732\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\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\u003e2013-2016 BMW X3 sDrive28i (2.0L Turbo N20\/N26)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2013-2016 BMW X3 xDrive28i (2.0L Turbo 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 F25 X3?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2013-2016 BMW X3 equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eN20\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eN26\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0L engine. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit 6-cylinder 3.0L models (xDrive35i) or diesel variants (xDrive28d).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAre specialized alignment tools required for installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, installation requires dedicated BMW N20\/N26 camshaft locking fixtures and crankshaft flywheel alignment pins to ensure precise timing and prevent valve contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe BMW Precision Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to meet rigorous European tolerances, this timing kit restores factory camshaft phasing, maintains stable hydraulic oil pressure, and ensures error-free operation with zero Check Engine Lights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545142067448,"sku":"DS-E2SXYYH7M","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-x3-2013-2016-2-0l-1.jpg?v=1790717702","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-timing-chain-kit-for-bmw-x3-2013-2016-2-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
