BMW calls it \"Slide rail,\" and production started in July 2008. It is made in Germany and sold as a single piece. As the chain slides across the rail face, the surface wears, and a worn guide is a likely cause of loud rattling or clattering when the engine is running.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA timing chain guide holds the chain in line and limits its movement and vibration, working with the tensioner to keep correct chain tension. A severely worn or broken guide can let the chain slip, which can show up as misfires, stalling, or hard starting. This guide is found on the top left side of the timing set, so confirm that position before ordering. This guide should be replaced whenever a new timing chain is installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-31-7-565-242\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: Slide rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: top left side of the timing set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngines: N63 and S63 V8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: July 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: one rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24-month parts warranty on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does this rail sit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the top left of the timing set on the N63 and S63 V8.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a worn guide sound like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRattling or clattering, especially at startup or idle, as the loose chain strikes nearby parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePMB carries the factory timing parts N63 and S63 owners need for a complete chain job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the fitment table below to confirm year, make, model, submodel, and any notes tied to your exact vehicle.
