The BMW Torx screw is an important part in BMW engines. It helps keep the serpentine belt tight, which keeps other engine parts like the alternator and water pump working smoothly. This makes the engine run better, last longer, and reduces wear and tear.
The screw is used in many BMW models from 2006 to 2013.
The BMW Torx screw 11287530315, also known as the Belt Tensioner Bolt, has the following detailed specifications:
Material: The screw is made of aluminum, which ensures durability and resistance to corrosion.
Dimensions: The screw has a T55 star-shaped head and measures 65 mm in length.
Compatibility: This part is compatible with various BMW models, including:
2006-2013 BMW 128i (E82/E88)
2006-2013 BMW 325i (E90/E91)
2007-2013 BMW 328i (E90/E91/E92/E93)
2006-2013 BMW 330i (E90/E91/E92/E93)
