In Reply to: M50 engine has chain, no timing belt (more) posted by Larry Chew on September 16, 2001 at 21:19:30:

Whoever at BMW decided to use timing belts rather than chains ought to be flogged.

BMW engines had a great reputation until someone decided to use a rubber band in a hot oily area under tension. It's been a long time regaining that reputation.
