Anybody got any experiance of changing the camchain on a 520i auto e34 straight six??? Mines got really noisy and from experiance with my bikes its better to change it before it does terminal damage to the engine....so far 2 garges hve said they wont touch em as it opens up a huge can of worms is this true?? :-/

are you sure its the chain and not the tensioner had the same prob on my old carlton gsi and it turned out to be the tensioner

i was speaking to a mechanic friend and to do the chain on a straight 6 is a couple of days work and the final bill including parts is normally over the £600 mark.

yeah its not a cheap job but tbh i would check the tensioner first just to make sure

yep i`ve more or less had the same reply on the 5 series owners forum....i`ll just have to run her and try to save sum cash up for another cheapo motor when she does die.......
