Engine Timing Tool Kit for BMW M47 M57 Camshaft Alignment

A BMW engine timing tool kit for setting and locking the timing on compatible M47 and M57 diesel engines during servicing work. Used when carrying out camshaft alignment, this kit helps position key engine components correctly before reassembly.

Used for engine maintenance, timing work and repair jobs on BMW diesel models, this kit suits both workshop use and more involved home garage servicing where accurate timing setup is needed. It is relevant when replacing or checking timing-related components and when work on the camshaft or crankshaft requires the engine to be held in the correct position. The listed model coverage includes E38, E46 and E39 applications, along with 318D, 320D, 330D, 520D, 525D, 530D and 730D vehicles fitted with the stated engine types.

The kit includes the main pieces needed for alignment and locking duties: a crankshaft pin, camshaft setting plate, clamp for the camshaft locking tool and two timing pins. Supplied for BMW M47 and M57 diesel engines, it is intended to match common service requirements where accurate timing position matters. The included parts help keep the job organised and reduce the need to source separate alignment pieces before starting work.
