i thought bimmers have timing chains? it is probably the ignition, or maybe try running higher octane gas? |

Its an e36 so it has a timing chain, no problems here as it will last the life of the engine. If the compression is good replace the obvious - plugs, wires, injectors, coils if need be, sounds like an ignition problem to me. If the compression is bad then dont bother, because it will most likely burn huge amounts of oil if it has low compression.

Bimmers do have chains. At least the 6 cylinders do. But at 228K, anything is possible.
