How do you replace the timing chain of the BMW 7 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 7 MK 2, E32, E38, MK 3 - Years 1986-1994
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing chain of the BMW 7 Series, you must open the hood so that you can access the components inside the engine compartment. Specifically, you will need to unscrew the bolts that secure some components in the front of the compartment, such as the radiator and alternator, so that they can be removed completely. After these parts have been removed, you can unscrew the nuts that secure the sprockets and tensioner, reducing the tension of the chain itself and removing it from its housing. Once the piece has been removed, you can position the new one, also mounting all the parts previously removed.
