how do i check the timing belt ?

[bmwdoc]

you have to take half of the front of the engine apart, in short you cant, take it to a garage and change it as the hard expensive work of checking is already done

ok Doc it is a 1999 so i will take your advise.

Thanks bro

Sorry to dig up an old thread... but the 99 v8 gasser has a timing chain... not a belt.
