Answer 1

change timing belt. heres why-timing belts are good, on average, about 75000 miles. a loud exhaust will cost you $75.00 if the cop that pulls you over is in a bad mood. a broken timing belt will bend your valves, costing you $1800.00, no matter what mood you're in.

Answer 2

What good is a quiet car that doesn't run. Do the timing belt. With 120k on the old one, you are already on borrowed time. The lack of power is also an indication of a stretched belt that's ready to go. If the belt is stretched 1/4 inch over its length, the engine's ignition timing and valve timing are retarded and will turn a car into a gutless wonder. Exhaust pipes and mufflers can be temporarily fixed with flattened coke cans, but if the belt breaks, you're looking at a lot more than $500.

Answer 3

Have the belt changed get the muffler done later are you sure your loosing power cause of the cat?? have you vahnged your plugs lately?? if so just for fun hae a compression check done if it is cool get a belt

Answer 4

once you've the U. S. variety ninety 8 328I then you quite must have the M52 motor with a timing chain and not in any respect a belt. i ought to no longer come across a service period for a timing chain, and would advise checking including your community BMW dealership to ease your concerns an dverify that you've a collection and not in any respect a belt. Timing chains hardly ever ought to get replaced.
