Product Information
Heating control unit for your M57N2 powered BMW's glow plugs, and important part of your diesel powered BMW's ignition system
Diesel engines are a little different than gasoline powered engines. Diesel engines do not have spark plugs and instead rely on pressure and heat to force the intake charge to ignite. When a diesel engine is cold it relies on glow plugs to start combustion. Glow plugs are controlled by something xalled a glow plug controller. A glow plug controller ensures that the glow plugs are warm when starting your diesel engine. Without it your diesel engine would not be able to start
About Genuine BMW
The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.
You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.
Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
