Timing Belt for BMW 3 Series: Powder Coated Steel
This timing belt for the BMW 3 Series is specified around powder coated steel, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is packing that arrived crushed at the port, or lead time that slipped twice before bulk started. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
