BMW 3-Series Engine Balance Shafts

Many engine parts move quickly and create vibrations, which negatively affect the vehicle's body, the engine itself, and make passengers feel less comfortable. Flexible motor mounts are effective in this case, but their possibilities are rather limited – too much flexibility means their short lifetime, high stiffness compromises comfort. In addition, due to their construction, I4 engines are more susceptible to vibrations than BMW's famous I6 or V8 motors. Manufacturing luxury vehicles, BMW had to deal with this problem somehow, and balancing is one of the solutions. Balance shafts keep the engine properly balanced and thus prevent any unfavorable events from happening.

These shafts, however, may also need repairs and replacements to keep working as they are expected to. In our BMW 3-Series balance shafts & components inventory, you can choose from top-notch products by such brands as Genuine or Timken. That’s to say that your selection will anyway be a good one; all replacement parts feature everlasting durability and will perfectly fit your car.
