hi just wondering if anyone has a mv2 18 inch 8j alloy i was sold a set of 4 but some fool put 3x 8j and 1x 8.5j so after a 8j to complete dont mind if it needs refurbed thanks in advance 

*update*  so after getting a timing tool kit and timing chain kit with uprated tensioner i replaced tensioner first retimed it and it now back to purring like a kitten . so thank you.

i will replace chain and guides later i think but sofar this seams to have worked . :) 

thanks for advice i now plan to get full timing kit and changing tensioner first as this is fastest job if it still jumps full kit will be going in i will let you know how i get on

hi new here and new to bmws as i just bought my first bm 316 with a 1.8 n42 engine , so when i bought it it was a non runner so put it on computer came back inlet cam sensor so went out and replaced this at same time i had noticed timing chain to be slightly slack ( yes i removed rocker cover)  timing was slightly out so redid the timing .. car started and drives amazingly well now heres my problem a child ran out in front of my car and i had to stop suddenly car did a slight jerk then stopped running and now wont restart put computer on and no codes i am thinking chain has jumped once again so heres my question , its it likely to be stretched chain in which case i will replace everything including guides or could it be  cam chain tensioner is not doing its  job

dont want to spend a whole load of money if its just a tensioner some advice would be great on this please thanks in advance.
