Originally posted by franzM10 & M42 have chains as alluded to already. It is a good idea to change the timing chain tensioner on the M42 but I don't know the interval. I would say 50k miles.

FWIW, there was a guy on BF.c a few weeks ago w/an e36 m42 car. His chain failed at 107k and did a number on the head. I'm assuming this is far from common.
Have any of you guys heard of other cases of a failed timing chain on these motors? They seem few and far between.

you need to change the timing chain at 60-100k. Its a pretty complicated job so I would pay someone to do it if your not mechanically savvy. costs around $600-$700
