ABS rings for BMW 3 Serie 335 I E93

ABS rings for BMW 3 Serie 335 I E93

Owning a BMW 3 Serie 335 I E93 means driving a car engineered for high performance and sophisticated technology. This convertible model places high demands on all its components, not least safety systems like ABS. An ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a small yet vital part of your car's braking system. On a powerful rear-wheel-drive car like the 335i, it is especially crucial that the drivetrain and safety systems work together seamlessly. At CVJoint24, we specialise in these exact parts to help you maintain your car's original handling and safety levels. Our ABS rings are manufactured to withstand harsh European winters and the rigorous stresses of spirited driving.

What does an ABS ring do on a BMW 3 Serie 335 I E93?

The ABS ring is mounted on the drive shaft or CV joint and acts as a reference point for the car's ABS sensor. As the wheel rotates, the ring's teeth or magnetic field generate a pulse signal that the sensor relays to the car's control unit. For your BMW 3 Serie 335 I E93, this data is critical for the system to detect if a wheel is about to lock up under braking. Beyond the anti-lock brakes themselves, this information is vital for the dynamic stability control (DSC) and traction control systems. If the ring is corroded or cracked, the signal can become distorted, preventing the system from regulating brake pressure properly. This compromises not only your safety but also the overall driving dynamics of your BMW.

Common symptoms of wear

The most common issue with ABS rings on models like the BMW E93 is corrosion. Because the ring is exposed to moisture, road grime and salt, rust can develop underneath it. This causes the ring to expand and eventually crack, or disrupts the precise air gap to the sensor. A clear sign of wear is an illuminated ABS warning light on your dashboard. You may also feel the ABS pulsing inappropriately through the brake pedal during normal braking at low speeds on dry tarmac. If your traction control or stability control warning lights flash unexpectedly, it often indicates that an ABS ring has failed and must be replaced promptly to restore full functionality.

Choosing the correct ABS ring

When purchasing a replacement ABS ring for your BMW 3 Serie 335 I E93, it is essential to check the specifications carefully. Variations exist depending on production year and exact specification, even within the 3 Series range. The key measurements to verify are the ring's inner diameter, outer diameter, width, and tooth count (for toothed reluctor rings). To make the process straightforward and reliable, we recommend selecting your car by make, model and engine in our shop. This filters out incompatible components and displays only parts guaranteed to fit your vehicle. It eliminates the risk of ordering an incorrect part for your drive shaft, saving you both time and workshop costs.

Related parts to inspect

Please also check these exact pages for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:

When a drivetrain component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the vehicle often require inspection as well. Comparing these exact pages for the BMW 3 Serie 335 I E93 makes it easier to determine whether an issue stems solely from the ABS ring or another adjoining drivetrain component.

This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and unwanted noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the same driveline. A quick check of related categories minimises the risk of replacing the right type of component while overlooking an adjacent worn part that affects the same issue.
