Please note: All camshafts must be installed by a professional engine builder, using the provided camshaft specification sheet. The builder is responsible for verifying piston-to-valve clearance and setting engine timing according to the cam card specifications, not the factory settings.
The BMW N52 engine—produced from 2004 to 2015—offers an ideal balance of performance and efficiency, making it a solid platform for street builds, track cars, and custom performance projects. Now, 5150 AutoSport brings you a purpose-built camshaft set designed specifically for the N52, engineered to help you extract every bit of potential from your setup.
Whether you’re looking for a sharper throttle response, broader powerband, or enhanced top-end output, this camshaft set delivers the performance needed to complete your N52 build with confidence.
Engineered for Precision and Tuned for Results
This camshaft set installs directly into the N52 engine but requires software calibration for full performance benefits. We recommend custom tuning solutions from HCPerformance, which are designed to retain factory drivability, idle characteristics, and full compatibility with BMW’s Valvetronic and Dual VANOS systems. For advanced builds using an aftermarket throttle body, the Valvetronic system can also be locked open.
Key Features:
- Designed for BMW N52 engines (2004–2015) — including E90, E60, Z4, X3, and more
- Direct-fit installation with tuning required for optimal performance
- Compatible with HCPerformance tuning for factory-smooth idle and drivability
- Maintains full Valvetronic and Dual VANOS functionality
- Supports Valvetronic lock-open mode for custom throttle setups
- Improves throttle response, power output, and engine efficiency
- Ideal for street, track, and custom high-performance applications

For optimal performance and reliability, 5150 strongly advises replacing your valve springs with your camshafts, even with mild camshaft upgrades. This essential step acts as a preventive measure against potential piston-to-valve contact during instances of over-revving or mis-shifts. By taking this proactive approach, we prioritize your engine's well-being and ensure that you experience the highest levels of performance without compromising on reliability.
