BMW 5 Series: Chain track

Crankshaft drive
Comparison between chain track of B58 engine and B58TU engine

  1. Chain track, two-part timing chain drive B58 engine
  2. Chain track, single-part timing chain drive B58TU engine
  1. 6-cylinder engine
  2. Upper timing chain
  3. Timing chain
  4. Lower timing chain
  5. Drive chain, oil vacuum pump

The way the combined oil vacuum pump is driven via a separate drive chain from the crankshaft has not changed compared with the Bx8 engines. Only the change of the chain tracks has changed: The drive chain of the oil vacuum pump is now in front of the timing chain.

Dropping the second timing chain offers the following benefits:

  • Improved acoustics
  • Lower space requirement
  • Reduced weight
