Re: [bmw] WTB early E36

I believe there is a big difference between the '92 and '93 engines.  The
former has a belt for the cam drive.  Later engines used a chain.  The
engine is the interference type - break the belt and you break the head -
and maybe the pistons.  Also the newer engines gained the VANOS for cam
drive.
