MK-112160

NUMBER 112300 

Top Dead Center Pin Made in U.S.A.

This pin inserts into a hole on the engine block to lock the crankshaft/flywheel at Top Dead Center (TDC) position. It's essential for properly setting engine timing, preventing the engine from rotating freely during procedures like timing chain replacement, camshaft removal/installation, VANOS unit service, or cylinder head work. Without it, valves could contact pistons, causing severe damage.

Precision-machined metal pin inserts into the block to engage a slot on the flywheel/crankshaft. Commonly used on a wide range of BMW inline-4, inline-6, V8, and V12 engines, including: 

Compatible models: Many 1990s–2000s BMWs such as E36 3-Series (318i, 323i, 328i, M3), E39 5-Series (525i, 528i, 530i), E46 3-Series (including M3), E34, Z3, Z4, X3, X5, and even some V8/V12 models like 7-Series and 8-Series.

3 Pcs Oil Filter Wrench Socket Set 

27, 32 and 36mm. 

Low profile sockets allow easier access to confined spaces.

Quick Compatibility Table

Size Common BMW Application

27mm Newer 2.0L 4-cylinder gas (B48) and modern Diesels.

32mm The newest 3.0L 6-cylinder "B58" engine models.

36mm The "Standard" for most BMWs from ~1995 to 2015 (N52, N54, N55)..

This socket set is a staple for BMW owners and technicians because it covers the three most common oil filter cap sizes used across nearly four decades of BMW engineering. These are low-profile sockets designed specifically to fit in the tight gap between the filter cap and the hood or intake manifold.

Here is the specific breakdown of BMW models and engines each socket fits:

27mm Socket

This size is primarily for modern 4-cylinder and diesel BMWs, as well as several Mini Coopers.

    Engines: B46, B47, B48 (Gas), N47, N57 (Diesel).

    BMW Models: * 3 Series: F30/F31/G20 (330i, 328d).

        5 Series: G30 (530i), F10 (535d).

    Mini Cooper: Most R-series models (R55, R56, R57, R60) with the N12, N14, or N18 engines.

32mm Socket

This is the "go-to" size for the most popular modern BMW straight-six engines.

    Engines: B58 (The highly popular 3.0L turbo inline-6 found in almost all "40i" models).

    BMW Models: * 2/3/4 Series: M240i, 340i, 440i (F and G generations).

        5/7 Series: 540i, 740i (G generations).

NUMBER 113290

BMW Timing Cover Engine Locator Pins (2)  

This kit consists of two small parts:

11 3 291 (Locking Clip/Clamp): A bent-wire "U" shaped clip used to hold the chain tensioner rail in a compressed position.

11 3 292 (Locking Pin): A small pin that slides into the hydraulic tensioner housing to lock the internal piston, preventing it from extending while the chain or VANOS unit is removed.

Primary Purpose

VANOS Service: To remove the VANOS unit, you must relieve tension from the secondary timing chain. These tools lock the tensioner in its compressed state so the chain remains slack enough for component removal but doesn't "jump" or fall out of reach.

Timing Chain Replacement: Used during the setup of the primary and secondary chains to ensure the guides and tensioners are out of the way while you align the camshafts.

Engine Compatibility

This tool set is most commonly used on BMW’s legendary inline-4 and inline-6 engines from the 1990s through the mid-2000s.

Engine Series Common Models

M42 / M44 318i, 318is, Z3 1.9

M50 / M52 325i, 328i, 525i, 528i (E34, E36, E39)

M54 / M56 325i, 330i, 525i, 530i, X3, X5, Z4 (E46, E39, E60, E53, E85)

Don't Forget Them: These tools are small and easy to leave inside the timing case. Most professional versions are painted bright red or have a "Remove Before Flight" style tag to ensure they aren't left behind, which would cause immediate engine failure upon startup.

Hand Tension Only: Never use a pry bar to compress the tensioner rail to fit the clip.

Sealing: Since you'll have the valve cover off to use these, it is the perfect time to inspect your Valve Cover Gasket and the VANOS seals if you haven't already.

NUMBER V7X14HEX

Stubby Hex Allen Socket Set Two (2) Tools 

Includes 7mm and 14mm with 3/8 drive

Sturdy, compact One-Piece design

Super S2 Alloy Steel -some of the  STRONGEST Drivers available! 

This specific combination of a 7mm and a 14mm hex socket is a classic "brake and drive train" set for BMWs. 

While these tools are universal, BMW uses these two specific sizes for some of the most common maintenance tasks across almost their entire lineup from the 1990s through the 2020s.

Here is exactly what those two tools are used for on a BMW:

The 7mm Hex (Brake Specialty)

This is the "must-have" tool for BMW owners. Unlike most cars that use standard bolts, BMW (and many European manufacturers) uses a 7mm internal hex guide bolt to hold the brake calipers in place.

Fitment: Virtually every BMW model from the 3 Series (E30, E36, E46, E90, F30) to the 5 Series and X-models.

Primary Use: Removing the front and rear brake calipers during a brake pad or rotor change.

Note: This 7mm size is rarely included in standard tool sets (which usually jump from 6mm to 8mm), which is why we sell it specifically for BMWs.

The 14mm Hex (The Driveline Specialist)

This larger socket is designed for high-torque fluid plugs.

Fitment: Most BMWs with manual transmissions or specific differentials.

Primary Use: * Transmission: Fill and drain plugs for many manual gearboxes.

Differential: Drain and fill plugs for the rear differential on older models (like the E30, E36, E46) and some modern chassis.

Engine: Some specific BMW engine oil drain plugs (though 17mm or 13mm/15mm bolts are more common for oil).

Summary Table

Tool Size Common BMW Application Models Covered

7mm Hex Brake Caliper Guide Bolts Nearly all models (1980s–Present)

 NUMBER 115490 

Vanos Turning Tool for BMW  

Sprocket Extractor and Installer Tool 

15490 is a specialized VANOS Turning Wrench.

This tool  is used to manually rotate the VANOS (Variable Nockenwellen Steuerung) units—BMW's variable valve timing system—on the camshafts during engine timing.

What exactly does it do?

When you are timing a BMW engine, the VANOS units must be set to a specific position (usually the "initial" or "retarded" position) before the timing chain is tensioned and the bolts are torqued down.

Because these units are spring-loaded or oil-pressurized, you cannot easily move them by hand. This tool hooks into the specialized splines or holes on the VANOS unit, allowing you to:

    Rotate the VANOS to its end-stop during assembly.

    Hold the unit in place while you tighten the mounting bolts.

    Check the range of motion to ensure the variable timing isn't binding.

This tool is specifically designed for the M62TU (Technical Update) V8 engines. These were the first BMW V8s to feature VANOS on the intake cams.

Primary Models (roughly 1998–2005):

    5 Series (E39): 540i

    7 Series (E38): 740i / 740iL

    X5 (E53): 4.4i and 4.6is (Pre-facelift models)

Engine Codes:

    M62TUB35 (3.5L V8)

    M62TUB44 (4.4L V8)

    M62TUB46 (4.6L V8)

OEM Number 11 5 490 

Difficulty Level Advanced (Internal Engine Work)

NUMBER 3424 

Spreader Socket 

Similar to BMW tool 31 2 230.

Steering Knuckle Strut Clamp Spreader

Tool is for safely opening the pinch spindle to separate the steering knuckle from the shock/strut. Spreader Socket mainly for A4 platform including Golf Jetta  Gti 337 20a.e. GTI 99 to present. Also  430i xDrive, M6, 535i xDrive, 440i xDrive, 745i, & more

This tool is needed any time the strut needs to be separated from the wheel bearing housing. Most common would be changing/replacing struts, coil spring, or the entire strut assembly. You would also use this tool when servicing the wheel bearing. You can not easily remove strut from wheel bearing housing without it. The wheel bearing housing clamps down very tight on the strut assembly-even with the bolt removed the housing is still firmly clamped to the strut. This socket allows you to spread the housing where it's clamped on so the strut can be removed. 

Basically this tool is a must any time the strut/wheel bearing housing needs to be removed. Important Note: Late model pinch bolts may need a 14mm XZN socket tool (not included).
