Keep your engine's variable valve timing responding the way BMW and MINI intended with the INA US Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket / Camshaft Phaser VV1122, INA's VCT camshaft phaser. It drops in for the listed applications, including the 2017-2021 BMW 230i, 2016-2018 BMW 340i, 2019-2023 BMW X3, and 2017-2020 MINI Cooper — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 34 BMW and MINI fitments. This part is listed under both names (VVT sprocket and camshaft phaser).
Mounted on the camshaft, the phaser uses engine oil pressure (directed by the VVT solenoid) to advance or retard camshaft timing relative to the crankshaft, varying valve timing as operating conditions change.
- OE-level engineering: designed to meet or exceed original-equipment quality and performance.
- Direct VCT phaser replacement: a like-for-like camshaft phaser for the covered engines.
- Country of origin: Germany.
Signs the original phaser may need replacing include timing-related fault codes, a rattle at start-up, or rough running. Diagnose the cause first — the VVT solenoid, oil supply, or oil condition can produce similar symptoms; if the phaser itself is at fault, VV1122 replaces it.
