BMW 11-41-7-639-993 Engine Oil Pressure Control Valve Solenoid

The BMW 11-41-7-639-993 is a genuine OEM engine oil pressure control valve solenoid designed for use in modern BMW and MINI vehicles equipped with volume-flow-regulated oil pump systems. This solenoid is a critical component in the engine's oil management system, electronically controlling oil pressure in response to real-time signals from the Digital Motor Electronics (DME) unit.

Unlike conventional fixed-output oil pumps, modern BMW engines such as the B48 and B58 utilize a variable, volume-flow-regulated oil pump that adjusts oil supply across individual operating ranges. This control valve solenoid is what makes that dynamic regulation possible, precisely metering oil pressure to match engine demand at any given moment. Failure of this component can result in restricted oil supply, triggering a check engine light, reduced engine power, limp mode, or a no-start condition.

Key Features:

• Genuine OEM BMW/MINI part — manufactured to factory specifications and tolerances
• Mounts on the driver's (left) side of the engine block
• Electronically regulates oil pressure via DME input signals
• Direct OEM replacement — no modifications required for installation
• Backed by BMW's factory parts warranty
• Also known as: Variable Timing Oil Control Valve, Variable Timing Solenoid, Control Solenoid
• OEM Part Number: 11-41-7-639-993 (also referenced as 11417639993)

Compatible with a broad range of BMW engine families including the B38, B46, B48, B57, B58, N20, N63, S58, S63, and N74, spanning models such as the 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, M5, M8, i8, and select MINI models. Replacing a failing solenoid with this genuine part restores proper oil system function and protects against costly engine damage.
