Product Description

The MMX Performance One-Piece Billet Crank Hub is a reliability upgrade for BMW S55 and N55 engines, designed to address the known weakness of the factory three piece crank hub design.

The original BMW crank hub uses a multi-piece friction plate design. Under load, the OE hub can slip, causing the timing to jump. If this happens, piston to valve contact is possible, which can lead to serious engine damage and expensive repairs.

The MMX one-piece hub replaces the factory design with a single solid billet EN36 steel component, heat treated and case hardened for strength and durability. With no friction plates to slip, the hub and timing gear remain locked together, providing a more robust solution for both stock and tuned cars.

This unpinned version is designed for stock to Stage 1 tuned vehicles and does not require drilling into the crankshaft. An optional Capture Plate is also available to prevent crank bolt loosening, adding an extra layer of security for high-RPM, track and drift use.

Professional installation is recommended.
