There are 2 engines used on the 318i. One has a chain the other a belt. The M40B18(1990-1993) uses a cam belt and the M43B18(1993-1998) a chain.

Hi Michael If you have little Knowledge in mechanics do not attempt repair. The engine if fitted with timing chains has 1 belt which drives the alternator and air con if fitted via the crank pully. Your question should be how many timing chains. answer 2. one drives the two cams the other drives the water pump and 2 balance shafts. The job is awkward and you will need to know what you are doing and great care needs to be taken when refitting crank pully. Damage to crankshaft is possible. Rattle type noise would have been audible before engine failure. If your engine is of the cambelt type it will have one belt driving water pump and cams. sorry to be a bit vague on engine type its just that you mentioned both belt and chains . Engine with chains will normally have an alloy silver front cover with a noticable small cover fitted to the rear of that front cover hiding the water pump drive. Cambelt type will have a black plastic cover. "Advise" puting into Dealer for correct diagnosis. Good luck

You said E30, 320i correct? Your engine is a 2.0L 4 Cylinder engine? If so it does not have a timing belt, it has a chain, upper and lower gears and two chain slides. To change the timing chain and slide set is not easy if you have never done one, neither is the belt on the 6 cylinder engines. I recommend a reputable BMW shop.

BMW recommends that the timing belt be changed every second Inspection ii, or every 4 years on cars that have low mileage. Most of the rest of the industry has timing belt changing intervals ranging from 40,000 miles to 60,000 miles. It is better to change the belt at a lower mileage than at a higher number.
The timing belt must be replaced every time the belt tensioner is loosened. Do not reinstall a used belt. Reusing a timing belt, even one with low mileage, is not worth the chance of having a belt break and damaging the engine.

Good luck.

You don't really have a problem ! The TD4 engine uses a timing chain not a belt, thus no need to change it.

Hi some of them have a belt but yours being the M43 engine is a chain, the only thing to listen for with them is chain slap or an rattling around the chain area, a bit of research on the M43 engine also shows that the chain should be changed after 100000 miles as they become weak, Just joined here and found this unsolved i know its a bit late but hope the extra info helps
