It has me baffled how this has even happened 😞 I have contacted BMW to discuss the issue but obviously this time of year causes some long delays in response. I'm assuming they would have records of serial numbers for parts used etc but wether they would be willing to assist at that depth is another question. For a car that's been good as gold it's certainly thrown up a hidden past. My worry is the engine being swapped out but as you say at such a low mileage why would it be "bodged". There was no indication of previous work so either it's had some good mechs perform the work or it's from factory 😞

Good morning. Apologies for the delay in response and cheers. From the realoem site, the camshafts listed/recommended for my car do not match those in my engine and are those listed in my original post (7563665). What gets stranger...when I search the part numbers I have on the realoem site. Nothing appears (7560934)? il be miffed it were the previous owners tampering as I'm second owner having bought the car at 20k miles 😞

Evening all. Hoping someone could clarify the camshafts that are suitable for my Beemer. Long story shot the headgasket had gone so I began to strip the engine down. It was only untill I removed the exhaust cam that both shaft and journals have picked up and are beyond use. Having searched the shafts that supposedly should be in my car, I have found 3 versions that are suitable: Part no 7563665, 7550557, 75277601 (older versions) Now the problem is with the part number of the shafts existent from my engine is different to any of those which has the part number: 7560934 Has my engine been running on the wrong cams all this time or have I been linked to the wrong ones? Beamers an auto e90 325i m sport manufactured April 2007 (2.5l) I'd appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this? Cheers in advance.
