BMW, 3.0i has two Timing Chains. Primary Timing Chain can be
reached by removing the Harmonic Balancer. Lower Timing Case Cover. Vanos Adjusting Unit. Secondary timing chain replacement will require removal of several components and Vanos Adjusting Unit.

start with the common things. You will be surprised with how clogged air filters can alter the peformance of your vehicle. I would start by checking air filters. when was the last time you serviced your e36? you might also need to check fuel pump pressure.

A good quality multi-viscosity oil. The best viscosity range depends on the temperature where you live but for most climates, 10W-30 is best for an e36 328. I used 20W-50 for many years in the warm Sacramento climate, but I had some odd performance on cool mornings that I attributed to the old VANOS not moving smoothly with the heavier oil, so I switched to 10W-30 and the problem seems better.
This car came with conventional oil in it. Some e36 owners have switched to synthetic motor oil with no problems. My experience with trying a synthetic (Mobile 1) in my two '97 328s was not good so I switched back to Castrol GTX. When I tried synthetic oil in my two '97 328s and my 91 Volvo, all three cars developed oil leaks almost immediately. However, other owners report no problems at all with synthetic oil.

Take a look at this website:
http://www.drvanos.com
It will detail how to do the work. If the link is removed search for Dr vanos (no spaces) and you will find them

if it's rattle kind of noise , possible cause :VANOS or chain guide.
There many other causes , the noise must be heared
by mechanic , to identify the source.

The vanos system advances vavle timing during engine accelleration by changing camshaft angle. See the M3 Wiki.

If there is a ticking noise on the engine it may be that your engines hydrolic valve lifter's may be failing. The reason why it may be a running problem is that the valve lifters are part the VANOS system witch is BMW's answer for variable valve timing. you have the M44B19 engine witch only has VANOS on the intake cam shaft. I cant be shure with the infomormation I have if this looks right and you require more assistance.

Please Ask.
