Balancer Shaft Alignment Tool Kit for BMW & Mini B37 B38

A BMW and Mini balancer shaft alignment kit for B37 diesel and B38 petrol engines, used when accurate positioning matters during engine strip-down and rebuild work. Made for removal and alignment tasks on the stated engine families, it helps reduce guesswork when components need to go back in the correct position.

Used for engine repair, servicing and timing-related maintenance, this kit suits professional workshop use as well as independent BMW and Mini specialists. It is relevant when working on selected BMW 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, X1 and i8 models, along with Mini Clubman and Convertible applications within the listed years. When balancer shaft components are being removed and refitted, having the correct engine timing tool set can make the job more straightforward and help avoid alignment errors during reassembly.

The set is intended for B37 diesel and B38 petrol engine applications from 2014 to 2017 as listed, so checking both engine code and vehicle year before ordering is important. OEM equivalent references are provided for compatibility checking: 2 288 943, 2 288 942 and 2 358 646. That makes it easier to confirm the kit against known tool references before starting work, which is useful for regular maintenance and repair planning where the correct fit matters.
