INA US Engine Timing Chain P/N:ZC0353
INA US ZC0021 lower timing chain for the 1997-2003 BMW 540i V8 4.4L and other vehicles carries drive from the crankshaft through the engine's timing drive. This engine timing chain helps keep valve timing in step with the pistons.
A worn or stretched timing chain can show up as a rattle from the front of the engine, rough running or a check engine light. A rattle alone does not prove the chain is at fault, since a worn tensioner or guide rail can make that noise too.
This is a direct-fit replacement timing chain for several BMW models, led by the 1997-2003 BMW 540i V8 4.4L and the 2000-2003 BMW X5 V8 4.4L, and a BMW 740i timing chain for the 1997-2001 V8 4.4L. It is made to meet or exceed OE specification. If your BMW is another year or engine, find it in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
