A Turbocharger Mount Heat Shield is a protective metal cover or barrier installed around the turbocharger and its mounting area. Since turbochargers operate at extremely high temperatures, the heat shield is designed to protect nearby components (hoses, wiring, engine parts, and body panels) from excessive heat exposure.

• Rattling or metallic noises – caused by a loose or broken heat shield vibrating at certain engine speeds.
• Burning smell – nearby hoses, wires, or plastic components overheating.
• Visible heat damage – melted wiring, cracked hoses, or scorched paint near the turbo area.

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.
