Can get some from my snappy/Mac guy and ship it if you can't find anything local. Couldn't imagine it being more than 12 bucks for the tool and a couple bucks to ship. | | | | | 04-11-2012, 05:13 PM | #8 | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Chicago Posts: 20 |

I bought mine on eBay. JTC Tools #1807. The box says for the M42 and M50 engines but it works with the M44 as well. Heads up though that the hole to fit the flywheel pin is usually rusted which makes it hard to push the pin in. I used a small round file to clean the rust off the hole, allowing it to fit. Just look for ones that list the M42 or M44. It'll run you roughly $60-$90. I wouldn't be afraid to buy a used one either. Search: BMW cam alignment tool jig (or some combination of those words) Here's what it looks like: http://eng.jtc.com.tw/products/index...a&id=412&top=0 You'll see many others for sale for other BMWs that have extra parts. You just need that block and pin for the M42/M44.

Sorry for the late reply, the Haynes manual has a template for the cam locking tool. I made my own, it was pretty easy(mine's for an S52 though, won't be any use to you) | | | | | |
