About BMW Timing Tool Kits
Timing tools for BMW engines, sorted by engine family in each title. Kits cover the N20/N26 four-cylinder (timing and flywheel), N51/N52/N53/N54/N55 inline-sixes (camshaft lock), N62/N73 V8 and V12, N63/S63/N74 V8 (camshaft and VANOS), and the N47/N57 and B37/B47 diesels. For B38, B48 and B58 engines there are a camshaft removal socket wrench and a 22mm 16-point VANOS camshaft socket.
These are Wrench Haus tools. Match your engine code to the title, since timing tools are engine specific.

Frequently asked questions
Which BMW timing kit do I need?
Match your engine code: N20/N26 kit, N51-N55 camshaft kit, N63/S63/N74 camshaft and VANOS set, N62/N73 locking tool, N47/N57 diesel kit, B37/B47 chain kit, and the 22mm VANOS socket for B38/B48/B58. Our BMW timing tool finder has the full table.
How do I find my engine code?
Do not guess from the badge, because many models were sold with more than one engine. Decode your VIN with a VIN decoder or a dealer parts department, check your service records or parts diagrams, or read the code stamped on the engine. We are happy to check your VIN before you order.
Which factory tool numbers does a kit replace?
The N63/S63/N74 set is listed as equivalent to 119890, 118090, 118570, 119190 and 119893, and the N47/N57 diesel kit to 11 8 760, 11 5 320, 11 6 480 and 11 8 740. Other BMW kits don't list factory numbers, so we don't state them.
Does the kit include a flywheel lock?
The N20/N26 kit and the N47/N57 kit include flywheel holding tools. Other kits may not, and you may also need a chain riveting tool, a crankshaft holding tool, a torque wrench and E-Torx sockets depending on the job.
Do you have guides for the job?
Yes: N20/N26, N51-N55, N63/S63/N74, N47 and B38/B48/B58 VANOS guides walk through each job step by step, with the tools listed. Read the guide for your engine before you start so you know which kit, hardware and torque specs the job needs.
How much is shipping on tools, and can I return them?
In-stock Wrench Haus tools ship within 1–3 business days, and most US orders arrive within 5–10 business days after they ship. Standard US shipping is free on Wrench Haus tool orders of $50 or more; orders under $50 ship for $8.
