I Camshaft Timing Chain I --
lnstall crankshaft holding tool (BMW special tool 11 8 190/11
8 200). Make sure cut outs in tool engages openings in
damper assembly. While counterholding crankshaft with
special tool, remove crankshaft center bolt (A).
CAUTION-
Do not use flywheel locking tool to hold crankshaft stationary
NOTE-
The crankshaft hub centerbolt is tightened to a torque of 410
Nm (300 ft-lb).
4 Install crankshaft damper puller (BMW special tool 11 8 210)
to 11 8 200. and (A) remove damper from crankshaft.
The crankshaft must not be allowed to rotate when the timing
chains are loosened or removed. The pistons can contact the
valves. Use appropriate crankshaft holding tool when loosen-
ing crankshaft hub center bolt.
Using a drift of less than
5 mm diameter, drive two locating
dowels in left and right sides of lower timing
cham cover to-
ward engine. Remove cover mounting bolts
(arrows) and
carefully lift cover off.
CA
UTION-
* Use care when removing the cover from the cylinder heao
gasket. If the cover is stuck, use a sharp
knife to separate
it from the headgasket.
If cylinder liead gasket Is damaged, remove cylinder
head and replace head gasket. See
113 Cylinder
head and valvetrain.
NOTE-
- The chain cover can be removed with the coolant pump in-
stalled.
Use care when removing the cover from the coolant pipe
at rear.
- Push primary chain tensioner guide rail aside and remove
chain.

Primary chain tensioner preload 0.7 Nm (6 in-lb)
< Preload exhaust camshaft spring plate by pressing on im-

4 Install BMW special tool 11 6 150 (VANOS setup bracket) to
front of
cyl~nder head timing case.
Tighten tool mounting nuts
(arrows) by hand, then tighten
down uniformly until special tool is firmly contacting cylin-
der head.
CAUTION--
Male sure allgasl(et material is removed from face of cylin-
der head. Clean sealing face and keep free of oil.

- Remove flywheel locking tool from transmission bellhousing
so that crankshaft is no longer secured.
- Remove camshaft loclting tools from rear of camshafts.
4 Crank engine over by hand twice in direction of rotation until
cylinder
1 intake and exhaust camshaft lobes (arrows) face
each other.
- Secure crankshaft in TDC position with BMW special tool
11 2 300.
4 Place BMW special tool 11 3 240 over camshaft ends and
measure clearance of tool to cylinder head surface.
NOTE-
* If the exhaust side of the tool is not flush with the head (gap
A), retime the camshafts as described laler in this repair
group.
Due to flexible sprocket design and VANOS control unit tol-
erances and play, the
intake side of special tool 71 3 240
may be up to
I mm (0.04 in) above the suriace of the cyl-
inder head (gap
B). This is normal. Otherwise, retime the
camshafts as described in
VANOS timing, checking and
adjusting (M52 TU and 11154 engines).
- Remove VANOS setup bracket from front of cylinder head
- Install VANOS control unit. See VANOS control unit, in-
stalling
(01152 TU and M54 engines).
- Install intake camshaft oil baffle

Lubrication System
This repair group covers lubrication system troubleshooting
as well as oil pan removal and oil pump replacement.
In 6-cylinder models, removal of the oil pan requires the re-
moval of the exhaust system and some front suspension
components. Those procedures are fully covered in:
180 Exhaust System
210 Clutch
230 Manual Transmission
0 240 Automatic Transmission
310 Front Suspension
320 Steering and Wheel Alignment
NOTE-
Oil change procedure and oil filter replacement are covered
in
020 Maintenance.
CAUTIOG
V8 engines: The oil pump fasteners (including the sprocket
retaining nut) are known to vibrate loose. This can result in oil
starvation and engine failure. Be sure to check oil bolts and
nut tightness whenever the
oilpump is accessible. If any fas-
teners are found to be loose, remove them and reinstall with
Loctite
Band torque to specifications.
Special tools
The engine needs to be properly supported while the front
suspension
subframe is lowered to access the oil pan.
A standard oil pressure gauge may be used for measuring oil
pressure.
