BMW E30 No-Start Due to Timing Belt Failure

Confirm this cause by removing the upper timing belt cover to inspect the condition of the belt. Check for stripped teeth, fraying, or complete snapping of the rubber belt. Verify the valve timing by aligning the crankshaft and camshaft timing marks to see if they deviate from factory specifications, which indicates a skipped or failed belt.
