M20 Touring 885 Cylinder Head

The BimmerHeads Touring 885 M20 cylinder head — our Stage 1 build, and the one we’d recommend from a stock rebuild all the way to a dedicated SpecE30 race car.

Built on the OEM 885 casting, every Touring head is rebuilt to order. Choose your camshaft and valve spring configuration above — not sure which cam is right for your build? Contact us and we’re happy to help.

Every Touring head receives:

• Cleaning & pressure testing
• Resurfacing
• New Supertech stainless steel black nitride valves
• New Supertech valve guides
• New performance valve seals
• New camshaft o-ring & seal
• New Febi OEM replacement rocker arms
• New rocker arm hardware & eccentrics
• New intake manifold studs
• New thermostat housing studs
• New exhaust manifold studs
• New valve cover studs

Camshaft options:

• New OE Spec Cam — factory specification grind. The right call for a stock rebuild or a clean street driver.
• Regrind 274 — increased lift and duration over stock, ground on a used OE BMW core. Excellent street manners with a noticeable mid-range improvement. Best for stock to mild builds.
• New 274 — same 274 grind on a brand new core. For those who want the performance upgrade without a reground cam.
• Regrind 280/274 — dual pattern — ground on a used OE BMW core with different intake/exhaust duration for stronger pull under boost. The go-to grind for forced induction builds.
• New 280/274 — same dual pattern 280/274 grind on a brand new core. For those who want the 280/274 grind without a reground cam.

Valve spring options:

• Used OE BMW Dual Valve Springs — good used condition OE BMW springs, inspected, tested, and ready to run.
• New OE BMW Dual Valve Springs — brand-new OE BMW dual springs, the factory choice for a fresh M20 build.
• Performance Dual Valve Springs — BimmerHeads high-performance dual valve springs engineered for high-lift camshaft applications.

Each head is built specifically for your order — no cancellations are accepted once placed. Allow a minimum of 6–7 weeks production time.

Price includes a refundable $700 core charge. Once your BimmerHeads head arrives, use the original packaging to return your OE BMW 885 cylinder head (with camshaft). Cores that pass our inspection and testing receive a full $700 refund. If the camshaft is unusable or repairable damage is found, we will contact you before any deductions are made. Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility.

Our Spec Sheet has the installation references you’ll need — valve clearances, torque specifications, oil recommendations, and break-in instructions.

Built the way we’d want it done — every Touring head leaves BimmerHeads ready to run.
