Timing is Everything with a BMW

TIMELY REPAIR IS EVERYTHING!
The inner workings of your automobile's internal combustion engine must operate on a fast-paced but very precise schedule to ensure efficient function without damage. Some vehicles, including your BMW, use a timing chain to accomplish this. Specifically, this part allows the cylinders to fire via synchronization of related components such as valves and cylinders by turning the crankshaft and camshafts in proper relationship with one another. As you can see, the timing chain is crucial to the workings of your engine, but it won't last forever. If it's time for a planned replacement or if you suspect a problem, the ASE-certified technicians at Antero Automotive & Truck Services in Greenwood Village, Colorado, are here to assist you with BMW timing chain repair.

Key Information About Timing Chain Repairs
The key to successful timing chain repair is prompt attention. While it's durable, the timing chain won't last forever. Estimates center around replacement by about the 100,000-mile mark, but the need can arise sooner. If you stretch that window too far or ignore warning signs, the chain could break, potentially causing extensive damage or catastrophic engine failure. Therefore, in addition to seeking the recommended planned replacement, be aware of any possible warning signals, such as misfires and idle rattles. Further, have us service your BMW as recommended. We'll watch for the tell-tale signs that include a worn timing chain tensioner, damaged camshafts, and timing gears, and visible problems with the chain itself.
