It adjusts camshaft timing on the 1998–2003 BMW 540i, the 1998–2001 740i and 740iL, and the 2000–2003 X5 4.4i. BMW calls it the camshaft adjuster unit with pinion, which means the adjuster and the chain sprocket come as one assembly. Variable valve timing lets the engine control module change cam timing as conditions change, which helps performance, efficiency, and emissions. The unit weighs 1.1 kg (2.3 lb) and is made in Romania.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the later of two BMW part numbers for the job. BMW put it into production in September 1998 as the replacement for 11-36-1-433-932. The same unit serves the E39 5 Series, the E38 7 Series, and the E53 X5 when they have the M62, so the chassis does not change the part. BMW shows it only on M62-equipped cars, so the engine code is the main check.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW, sold as an Original BMW part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-36-1-438-694\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: camshaft adjuster unit with pinion (VANOS adjusting unit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: M62\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis: E39, E38, and E53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.1 kg (2.3 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: one assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: September 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces: 11-36-1-433-932, interchangeable on earlier cars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Romania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy car came with 11-36-1-433-932.
