Original BMW Torx Screw M6x16 for Camshaft Position Sensor and Oil Separator, BMW M3 (2008–2013)

The Original BMW Torx screw 11-41-7-526-315 is the M6x16 fastener that secures the camshaft position sensors and the oil separator on the 2008–2013 BMW M3. BMW names the part simply Torx screw and gives its thread and length as M6x16, with a weight of 2 g (0.07 oz). The part has been in production since September 2004 and is made in Germany. It is sold and priced each, so order one for every mounting point you plan to refit. A Torx drive lets a small screw take driver torque without the rounding a hex socket can cause in tight spaces.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

On the M3, BMW's parts data ties this screw to the S65 V8 in the E90 sedan, E92 coupe, and E93 convertible, including the facelift version of each body. The same number also appears across several BMW Motorrad models, among them the S 1000 RR, the K 1600 GT and GTL, the HP4 Race, and the K 1600 Bagger, which shows how widely BMW uses this M6x16 size. On the car, one part number covers both the cam sensor and the oil separator positions, so there is no separate screw to track down for either job. No supersession appears against this number.
