i think i found it here doing a search, i drive about 5k or less a year as i have a few trucks and new cars just sit, and lose$$$ as that'sm why i leased the 5 series...
It's a timing chain and it is virtually undestructible.
However, past 200-250kmi i would probably take look at the chain tensioner and
would inspect the plastic slide rails as they break up first. Having the front cover
off for any reason is a good moment to do this.
HOPE TO CORRECT FOR A 95-99 3-5 SERIES

You don't change timing chains on E39s.
Thank God for that.
