The guides break and there is no tension applied to the chain. A slack chain won't engage the lower timing sprocket which in turn doesn't rotate the valve train.
I just bought a x5 which did all that and bent all the valves for the previous owner.
If you are mechanically inclined enough to attempt the repair, I spent about $800 on engine parts to fix, and lots of spare time. lol
Good luck.
