BMW Timing Chain Replacement

Why Does My BMW Need the Timing Chain Replaced?

A timing chain makes sure the crankshaft and camshaft are on time and the valves are opening and closing at the precise moment to coincide with the cylinder combustion. 

If your BMW has a timing chain installed it can stretch or fail over time and would need to be replaced to keep your engine running.

If a timing chain were to stretch you could notice power loss, engine backfires, rattle in the engine, rough idle and driving. The vehicle will run roughly as the timing becomes out of sync. It's rare for a timing chain to break completely but if it did the engine would stop.
