This is the genuine BMW timing chain guide, part number 11317594909 (superseded from 11-31-7-594-909). It is the plastic rail that keeps the timing chain on its path and controls tension on BMW engines that use a chain-driven valvetrain. It suits owners and independent shops doing a timing chain job who want the factory part rather than an aftermarket equivalent. Compared with cheaper aftermarket guides, the genuine part matches the original fit and material, which matters on a wear item buried behind the front cover.

This is a genuine BMW engine timing chain guide. It works alongside the timing chain and keeps it aligned as it synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshafts. That synchronization lets the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the correct intervals.
The guide keeps the chain on the correct path around the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. It helps limit excessive chain movement and vibration during engine operation. It works with the timing chain tensioner to maintain proper chain tension and prevent slack.
A worn or broken guide can cause a rattling or clattering noise, especially at startup or idle. It can also cause engine misfires, stalling or hard starting.
