Why do you need to? Who told you it was bad? Just because you car won't start, doesn't mean it has anything to do with the BMW chain.The timing chains are double roller chains that are probably the last thing that would ever break no matter how many miles are on it (200, 300 or more thousand). They are also incredibly complex to change (BMWs have variable hydraulic timing) and require specialized tools not available except by special order. It requires a lengthy engine dissasembly. If you have changed timing belts and chains on other cars and feel you might as well try BMW, then my advice is to sell the car now, because it will never run again.
If your truck has the 6.9 or 7.3 engine, which is what it should have, then there is no timing chain. Everything is gear driven. If you are having trouble with the engine pick up a copy of Haynes Diesel Engine Repair Manual, part # 10330. It has excellent repair advice and tips complete with photos and diagrams. Hope this helps.
I just did my 2000 528i and you cannot do it without special tools to place it in TDC and cam placment tools. Do not attempt to do it without the tools or you could destroy your engine. Now if you have the tools go to mitchell1diy and for ten bucks you'l get all the procedures.
Hi some of them have a belt but yours being the M43 engine is a chain, the only thing to listen for with them is chain slap or an rattling around the chain area, a bit of research on the M43 engine also shows that the chain should be changed after 100000 miles as they become weak, Just joined here and found this unsolved i know its a bit late but hope the extra info helps

The tightening sequence is from inside to outside crossover as normal. Loosening sequence is from outside to inside crossover. Remember to set torque wrench at low setting and work gradually up through the whole sequence until you get the desired torque.
