|  TOL-M-0050-SIR | Timing Chain Crimping Tool, Adaptor Bit Not Included, All BMW Engines With Timing Chains, Each [Photo] | $149.00 |  |  TOL-M-0050-B | Timing Chain Crimping Tool Adaptor Bit, For All BMW Timing Chains, Each [Photo] | $40.40 |  | Timing Chains | | Another important set of components not to overlook are your timing chains and gears. The timing chains and belts keep the pistons and cylinders aligned and running in sync. If the chain slips or the belt breaks, then the pistons will most likely hit the valves, and you will have some very expensive engine rework on your hands. Don't chance it - use new parts here. |

| $162.25 |  | | A common upgrade for the E36 325 and 328 models (w/ M50 or M52 motor) is the replacement of the chain tensioner with the one that was developed for the E36 M3 (with S50 motor). This later-style tensioner is a single-piece assembly that utilizes a double-piston design with a stronger spring than the original. Switching to this unit is especially advised if you are experiencing increased timing chain rattle on startup or deceleration - a common problem on high-mileage vehicles.
