BMW M3 VANOS Hub Cover Replacement DIY (2008-2013 BMW E90, E92, E93 M3)

►BMW's S65 V8, for all its good, likes to keep owners on their toes. Within the valvetrain that allows the crazy 8400rpm redline are plastic VANOS hub covers that protect the cam sprockets. They tend to work themselves out of position and cause potential issues, so replacing them with this all-aluminum set from NRW Design is a surefire way to prevent future failures.

Heat and oils force the plastic to expand with use and age, resulting in their falling off into the timing chain assembly. The chain survives the encounter, but the covers are often chewed up into tiny plastic bits that find their way into the oil pan. There, they can block the oil pick-up tube and starve the engine of oil. No oil means big problems.

Follow along with FCP Euro's BMW Expert, Gareth Foley, as he replaces the VANOS Hub covers on a Space Grey BMW E92 M3.
