Can anyone tell me the part number for the Timing Chain Tensioner on a 2016 C650gt non hydraulic (UK)

My BMW Dealer say's they don't make it anymore and they only do a Hydraulic change over which will cost loads £££'s

I actually got thrown out of the showroom today for arguing about the part! I cant believe a part for a 2016 machine is no longer available.........................

The BMW part number is BMW 11318544896.

I found it quickly on www.bikebandit.com. Cost shown is $81.55. However, it does say "On backorder. None available."

Here's the link. It's #60-A and 60-B if you scroll down: https://www.bikebandit.com/oem-parts/2016-bmw-c650gt/o/m157904#sch949411

A quick Google of "BMW 11 31 8 544 896" shows several European sources for purchase. Good luck!

That part number is for the i3 range Extender (Same engine) ..................... why oh why don't the part's guys know this?

When I last looked into this the hydraulic tensioner price seemed reasonable, it was the price of the connecting hose that was high. Maybe you could buy a new tensioner and have the hose made up locally? The MK2 mechanical tensioners have also been know to fail.
