Original BMW Oil Pump Control Valve for N20, N26, and N55 BMW 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Series, M2, X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, and Z4 (2010–2019)

BMW's hydraulic valve 11-41-7-622-768 is the Original BMW oil pump control valve that regulates the volume-flow-controlled oil pump on N20, N26, and N55 engines in 2010–2019 BMW 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Series, M2, X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, and Z4 models. These engines use a pump that delivers only as much oil as each operating range requires. The valve varies the oil pressure in the pump's controllable oil chamber, and that pressure moves the slider that sets pump delivery. The main spring acting on that slider is softer than in a conventional pump, so slight pressure in the chamber is enough to bring delivery down to minimum. The engine control unit runs the pump on a characteristic map, which lowers the average pressure in the oil circuit and reduces the energy needed to drive the pump. This valve is made in the Czech Republic.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW's official name for the part is Hydraulic valve, and it supersedes 11-41-7-596-899. Because BMW rates the change as exchangeable retrospectively, this number also serves vehicles that were built with the earlier valve. Production of this version began in March 2011. BMW sells the valve as a single piece.
