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.
Designed to Maximize the Potential of Your BMW N55 Engine
The BMW N55 engine—used in numerous models from 2009 to 2019—is known for its smooth power delivery, efficient design, and impressive tuning potential. 5150 AutoSport’s exclusive performance camshaft set is engineered specifically for the N55 platform, giving enthusiasts a powerful upgrade for street builds, track projects, or high-horsepower forced induction applications.
Engineered for Tuners, Built for Power
This direct-fit camshaft set is optimized for use with both stock and upgraded N55 setups. While installation is straightforward, proper tuning is essential to extract maximum performance. We've partnered with industry-leading tuners, including HCPerformance, to support this camshaft set with proven tuning solutions that maintain factory-like idle, full Valvetronic and Dual VANOS functionality, and excellent drivability—even with aggressive cam profiles. For advanced setups using an aftermarket throttle body, Valvetronic can also be locked open for added control.
Key Features:
- Direct-fit camshaft set for BMW N55 engines
- Ideal for naturally aspirated and forced induction builds
- Improves throttle response, midrange power, and top-end output
- Maintains use of Valvetronic and Dual VANOS systems
- Compatible with custom tuning from HCPerformance
- Perfect for high-performance street and track applications
Proven Performance, Track-Tested Reliability
To get the most out of these camshafts, we recommend pairing them with other proven upgrades such as a reinforced engine block, larger turbochargers, and high-capacity fuel systems. Whether you’re chasing quicker lap times or daily-driveable horsepower, this camshaft set is a crucial part of any serious N55 build.
Backed by 5150 AutoSport’s Expertise
Every camshaft set we offer is the result of extensive testing and engineering insight gained through years of hands-on experience with BMW performance platforms. Built to strict tolerances and designed for durability under pressure, our N55 camshaft set delivers reliable performance you can trust.

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.
