BMW timing ***BELTS***
Hello,
I just wanted to post a follow up message indirectly to some post I have seen saying that " BMWs do not use a timing belt at all but a timing chain " this is not true. You have to check on your exact BMW with a place like www.bavauto.com or other such BMW after markey supply house but my 1986 BMW 528e uses a timing BELT. I know I worked with the Tech. installing it together on the car then I drove to Montreal and if it needed a chain and I used a belt I would be in a world of ......well you the know stuff ick..(GRIN). Here is link that shows the belts and kits for replacing them to help others. http://www2.autopartsauthority.com/p...rt=Timing+Belt -Dana sion, New Hampshire |

Re: BMW timing ***BELTS***
There are only a few BMW's that have a timming belt. 99 outa 100 cars are usually timming chains. So you are correct and that other person was wrong.

Re: BMW timing ***BELTS***
therefore all the american 3's between 84 and 91 and some from 92 and even a small few from 93 (save the 318's) have a timing belt.
