This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 11417576915 (11-41-7-576-915) and is described as the Oil Pump Chain for M50, M52, M52TU, M54, S50, and S52 engines found on E36, E46, E34, E39, E83 X3, E53 X5, Z3, and E85 Z4 models.
This is a split chain that uses a master link. This is best used when you don't plan to remove the oil pump nut or the cannot remove the front pulley for some reason.
Like a timing chain, the oil pump chain may experience wear on the rollers of each link. This increases the gap in between each axle and could lead to the chain jumping off a tooth. It's important to also inspect the teeth on the crank gear and the oil pump sprocket for similar wear.
This is an OEM oil pump chain manufactured by Iwis - the original supplier to BMW for this part, as well as many other timing components. As the OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
