Crappy BMW 2.5TDS lump is chain driven.  With regular oil changes, the chain should last a good 200k.

If you don't do regular oil changes (remember oil change interval is 4.5k on these), and chain/spockets have excessive wear, it will be an uneconomical job unless you can do it yourself.  Chain replacements on these are about £300 in parts for chain/sprockets/guides alone, plus head and sump have to be removed :o

Yes, I know, 'designed' by an german idiot.
