Timing chain guide broke and jumped a tooth need help

[T.Yazar]

Hi ,

First of all this is the car of my girl and it is a 320i 2004 (af84296)

I know it's not a e53 but forgive me because I am desperate and I need help

I have a timing tool and did a search on the web how to replace and reset the timing on a n45 engine and could not find anyting

Is there a diy ? How to do this can someone please help me out ??

Thank u all

Why don't you check for the identical N40 engine DIY?
The tool set seems to work on both.
