BMW Timing Chain Repair

BMW is a German car company that creates a wide range of vehicles from the sporty to the luxurious and everything in between. BMW vehicles are known for stellar design and performance, but they do still sometimes require repairs, just as any other make and model of car will. And, just like other makes and models of vehicles, BMW models have a timing chain inside of them. But what is the timing chain on a car? The timing chain is, as the name would suggest, a chain. More specifically, it’s a chain that connects the car’s crankshaft (the piece of your engine that rotates your car’s pistons) and its camshaft (a rod that rotates your car’s cams, which is the piece that presses your exhaust and intake valves). It’s an under-discussed and underrated part of your car, but maintaining the timing chain is important. Your BMW’s timing chain should be frequently inspected and maintained because getting worn out can lead to problems such as stalling, loss of power, and even engine failure.
