This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 11111265412 (11 11 1 265 180) and is described as the Needle Sleeve Bearing insert used by the oil pump shaft on the M20 6-cylinder engine for E30 3-Series and E28/E34 5-Series. Unlike other engines that use a chain for the oil pump, the M20 uses intermediate shafts in the engine block. These needle bearings insert into the side of the block.
For E21 320/6 and 323i these bearings are also used for the distributor shaft.
Note: the “intermediate shaft bearings” are also on the front of the engine block - see Related Items below.
This part replaces the previous obsolete BMW part numbers: 11111265412 (11 11 1 265 412).
