Just bought a '97 with 107K miles and im instantly hooked on it. But I'm trying to make sure everything is up to speed on it. I know there was an earlier threat about timing chain on a 96, but i know the engine was slightly changed going into 97, so im curious if the timing belt/chain situation has changed... Thanks guys.

Belts died with the E30, and many E30s died because of their belts. -Phil (too) | | | 04-11-2006, 05:00 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Chicago Posts: 102 | is it an interference engine?
