May as well do the chain while you're in there at this point. Check the condition of the gears and decide if they should be done at the same time. Upper ones are easy, crank gear can be a pain. Change the oil pump chain while you're in there. Brett Anderson KMS Ivan Demkovitch wrote: > Update. > > I got all special tools.

I need to buy a few dealer parts for my 1991 M5 (timing chain tensioner, floormats, AFM boot, etc.). The local dealer here in KC (Baron BMW) is a good dealer if your car is newish, but they don't stock much for the old cars and they charge list price or better for most stuff. As always, thanks for the help. I would own BMW's without this list (I freely admit this addiction), but the list sure makes it easier and more enjoyable.
