The Gates Racing RPM timing belt for the BMW M20. Available as a belt-only purchase or bundled with a water pump and/or timing belt tensioner — configure yours above.
Fits all BMW M20 engines
HNBR elastomeric composite construction — up to 300% stronger than stock
Up to 3x heat resistance and wear resistance over OEM
High-strength tensile cords for interference engine use
HSN rubber compound resists degradation from engine fluid contact
Nylon-reinforced tooth jacket minimizes wear
Optional INA (OEM) timing belt tensioner or PPF billet tensioner upgrade
Optional water pump — early (84–87) or late (88+) fitment
We recommend the PPF billet tensioner for performance and high horsepower builds; the INA OEM tensioner is a solid choice for stock rebuilds.
The performance belt we reach for on our own M20 builds — and the one we’d recommend for any M20 timing belt job where you want more than OEM.
