Usually, timing belts or timing chains must be replaced on recommended intervals, often ranging from 60,000 miles to 105,000 miles. The earlier the better! A replacement timing belt should be put if the old one already has signs of damages like cracks, cuts or excessive wear. If not replaced in time, chances are, it may break causing serious engine damage. The engine will stall because of the damages in the valves and pistons and destroyed cylinder head. Having a replacement timing belt is not a cheap job (prices from £180+ )but it is far less costly than the alternative.
I would go to a specialist german car service repairer or BMW to have this dones, as your local back street garage may do more damage if not fitted correctly!
Good luck!
