Genuine BMW VANOS Solenoid Valve (VVT Oil Control/Camshaft Timing) - N51 N52 N53 N54 - Fits 135i 323i 325i 328i 330i 335i - OEM 11367585425

BMW OE Oil Control Valve for Variable Camshaft Adjustment - N51 N52 N53 N54 - Part No. 11367585425

Bring back crisp throttle response, stable idle and factory-spec performance with this original BMW oil control valve for variable cam timing. This cam phaser actuator precisely meters oil to the cam adjusters on N51, N52, N53 and N54 engines, restoring accurate phase control on both intake and exhaust sides where applicable. If you are chasing hesitation, flat spots or reduced torque, replacing a tired OCV is a proven solution that gets your BMW driving the way it should.

This is a genuine OE replacement from BMW. It is a direct plug-in unit, no coding required, engineered for perfect sealing and long-term reliability. We fit these in-house at MJ Modifications and our customers consistently report smoother running, stronger mid-range pull and fewer cam timing related faults after installation.

Sold individually. Many setups use two units, one per cam. N54 cars commonly require a pair if doing both sides.

Why choose this OE camshaft actuator

• Authentic BMW part for exact fit and function
• Restores proper variable cam control for power and drivability
• Addresses common issues such as rough idle, sluggish acceleration and timing faults
• Plug-and-play replacement, no programming required
