About Electronic Timing Controllers

The BMW electronic timing controller functions to assist with controlling fuel delivery in a diesel engine.  The electronic timing controller ensures that a constant supply of fuel is injected at the right proportions at the right time in order for combustion to occur, regardless of the speed the engine is rotating.  It helps when cold starting the engine; to prevent the engine from overheating; and to maintain a constant engine speed. 

Situated on the fuel pump, the electronic timing controller is controlled by the engine's primary drive gear. 

Crucial to engine start up, idling, drive and emissions, the electronic timing controller works in conjunction with the car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and various sensors to ensure the precise amount of fuel is injected at the right time for the rotational speed of the engine. 

Signs that there may be a fault with the electronic timing controller are white smoke from the exhaust; a knocking sound from the engine; a sluggish and struggling engine; or unusual amounts of black smoke from the exhaust. When you need to replace the electronic timing controller in your vehicle, buying a good quality BMW electronic timing controller is the ideal choice.

BMW trivia

  • Everyone knows what the BMW logo looks like, but do you know what it represents? Most people think it's inspired by propellers (because of BMW's aviation history), but it's really just the same colour scheme as the Bavarian flag and was designed to showcase Bavaria.
  • It might not be the accessory that everyone needs, but for BMW drivers in South Africa who were worried about carjackers, the 'Blaster' was a flamethrower that shot huge flames from either side of the car. Not currently available in the UK…
  • The very first BMW was named the 'Dixi'. They hadn't designed it (it was really an English Austin), and they dropped the name 'Dixi' very quickly, instead opting for the rather more grandiose BMW 3/15 DA-2. Rolls off the tongue!
  • The BMW M1 has a classic look, so it's no surprise that its designer also came up with some other amazing car designs. Giorgetto Giugiaro is also responsible for the DeLorean, the Beretta U22 Neos handgun, and the Nikon D4 camera! Although, he also designed the Yugo, commonly called the worst car that's ever been made.
  • One of the reasons older BMWs keep their value is because it's easy to get spare parts for even the oldest models. That's because BMW has carried on making car parts, even for cars that were built in WWII.
