This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 11361438351 (11 36 1 438 351) and is described as the trigger wheel on the exhaust cam of the VANOS system on 1999-2006 E46, E39, E60, E83 X3, E53 X5, Z3, and Z4 models. BMW calls it a Impulse Sending Wheel and it's used by the camshaft sensor to identify camshaft position and set timing. It's part of the VANOS assembly on the exhaust cam. It's unusual for this to need replacement unless there has been an oiling issue causing metal-on-metal wear.

This is a Genuine BMW VANOS impulse wheel with a two year warranty. Buying a Genuine part will usually be more expensive than an OEM or aftermarket brand but you are assured that it meets BMW's designs for fitment, performance, and longevity. It will also be the very latest design, incorporating any updates or revisions that an aftermarket brand typically will ignore.
