Technical specifications — Fitting Position: O, Fitting Position: U, Supplementary Article/Supplementary Info: 98, Supplementary Article/Supplementary Info: 255, Number of chain links: 118 — are verified against the OEM data sheet to guarantee fitment accuracy and performance parity with the original equipment. Compatible with BMW, MINI, TOYOTA vehicles; use the vehicle selector above to confirm exact fitment for your make, model, and engine variant. Fitment data is sourced from TecDoc, the authoritative European parts catalogue. This part supersedes original equipment references: 11 31 7 617 488, 11 31 8 648 729, 13 52 7 636 184, 13 52 8 648 731 and 5 more.

All parts are sourced from authorised distribution channels and carry full manufacturer traceability — you receive exactly the same component supplied to professional garages and dealer workshops.
