Gear wheel, camshaft — a genuine BMW part, number 11 31 7 788 741. The number stamped on the part is 11317788741; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 7788741. You will find it on our Engine shelf, under CAMSHAFT. It supersedes the older number 7787560, so a part carrying that number is the same part.
It fits every E46 body style (318d, 318td, 320d, 320td and 330d, 2001–2005), with the M47N or M57N engines.
BMW draws it on 2 diagrams, among them timing gear timing chain top (11_3319) and timing gear timing chain top (11_3463). BMW's catalog calls for two of these at each place it is fitted. It weighs about 220 g (0.5 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
