Standard Ignition VVT272 VVT solenoid for the 2008-2013 BMW M3 V8 4.0L uses an electrical signal to adjust engine valve timing. This variable valve timing solenoid is a direct-fit OE replacement for the exhaust position.
- Electromagnetic activation on a 12 V supply
- Rectangular female plug connector with two male blade terminals
- Metal and plastic housing, 25 mm wide
- 100% end-of-line testing on every solenoid
- Designed to help restore horsepower and torque curves and reduce emissions when a worn solenoid is the cause

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Standard Ignition VVT272 VVT solenoid right for the 2008-2013 BMW M3 V8 4.0L?
Yes. Standard Ignition VVT272 is a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2013 BMW M3 V8 4.0L, and that engine takes two of them.
Does the VVT272 solenoid come with gaskets or mounting hardware?
No. Standard Ignition VVT272 is the solenoid only; gaskets and mounting hardware are not included, so plan on new ones.
What kind of connector does this exhaust VVT solenoid have?
This VVT solenoid has one rectangular female plug connector with two male blade terminals, and it runs on 12 V.
Can a rough idle or check engine light come from a worn exhaust VVT solenoid?
Yes, a rough idle, reduced power or a lit check engine light can mean a worn solenoid. A shop can test it, since that check needs the engine running.
How is the Standard Ignition VVT272 tested?
Every VVT272 solenoid goes through 100% end-of-line testing. Its design process is aimed at OE-level performance.
