B-M-W N46 Engine Oil pump 318 320 E46 E90 E42 X1 Z4 N42 Original used auto parts
Design:
Gear-driven pump with aluminum housing and hardened steel gears.
Includes pressure relief valve to regulate oil flow.
Flow Rate:
~25–30 liters/minute at 6,000 RPM (varies with engine condition).
Oil Pressure:
3–5 bar at operating temperature (idle: ~1.5–2 bar).
OEM Authenticity:
Genuine BMW part, designed for the N46 engine (used in models like E46 3 Series, E90 3 Series, and 1 Series). Ensures precise fitment and reliable performance.
Critical Functionality:
Maintains proper oil pressure (3–5 bar at operating RPM) to prevent engine damage, crucial for the N46’s longevity given its history of timing chain and oil system issues.
Cost Savings:
Significantly cheaper than a new OEM pump while retaining BMW’s engineering standards (ideal for budget-conscious repairs/rebuilds).
Condition:
Minimal wear (e.g., intact gears, no scoring on housing, functional pressure relief valve). Tested for smooth operation and absence of leaks.
Rarity:
Original N46 oil pumps are increasingly scarce in good condition, raising value for restorations or OEM-focused repairs.
Compatibility:
Fits N46 engines in 316i, 318i, 320i, and 320si models (confirm part number for exact application).
