The MMR Performance BMW N55 S55 Crank Hub Single Piece Upgrade is an essential solution for preventing the notorious crank hub slippage issue found in N55 and S55 engines. Precision-machined from high-strength billet material, this single-piece design eliminates the risk of the crank bolt loosening under high RPM and tuned applications. Perfect for track or high-power builds, this upgrade ensures long-term reliability and peace of mind for your BMW M2, M3, M4, and other N55-powered models.

Issues relating to the standard three-piece crank hub on the N55 & S55 engine are (unfortunately) widely known, but these are fully addressed with the installation of the MMR Performance one-piece billet Crank Hub, together with the option to add our Capture Plate for ultimate security.


The OE crank hub unit’s friction plate are known to slip, causing the timing to alter enough that piston-to-valve contact can occur and, if not totally standard and within the warranty period, leaves owners with a very expensive repair bill!

We have developed this Single-Piece N55 S55 Crank Hub together with our optional Capture Plate to ensure owners have complete peace of mind, whether on an untuned factory car or equally for those that wish to increase the power and torque output without ever having to worry again; MMR have engineered the most comprehensive solution on the market and at one of the most compelling price points.

OE Multi-Piece Crank Hub (L) compared to MMR Single Piece Crank Hub (R) 

The crank hub is machined from billet EN36 steel that’s been heat-treated with a 0.75mm case hardening, making it incredibly strong and durable. The one-piece design ensures the friction plates can no longer slip and with a new crank bolt tightened appropriately, this alone delivers the transformational improvement in reliability versus the OE version.

Single-Piece Crank Hub (L) with Capture Plate (R)

As MMR Performance offers two versions of the Single-Piece Crank Hub, which is best for you, pinned or unpinned?  For most standard to Stage 1 tuned N55 & S55 engines, this unpinned MMR Single-Piece Crank Hub is more than sufficient. Installation is more straightforward as the end of the crankshaft does not need to be precision drilled to mount the four locating dowels. However, for high power/torque engines tuned beyond this level, we recommend the upgraded pinned version of the Crank Hub that incorporates the 4-pin dowel drive mounting for the ultimate engine security. The 4-pin version is part number MMR20-1004.

Finally. alongside the Crank Hub, the optional MMR Capture Plate ensures that owners have complete peace of mind.

This Capture Plate removes the possibility for the crank bolt to be able to loosen with the engine’s vibrations or harmonics. The Capture Plate is an additional billet aluminium hat that securely bolts over the entire head of the crank bolt, making it literally impossible for the bolt to come undone. Please select from the product option below at point of ordering to include a Capture Plate with your order.

Brand

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

  • Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content.  Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
  • Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
  • Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
  • Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
