Is the timing belt connected with the head gasket in BMW 3series?

The timing belt and head gasket are two different things. To replace the head gasket you will have to remove the head necessitating removing the timing belt. If you are going to replace your head gasket it is best to put a new timing belt, a timing belt tensioner and possibly a new water pump. BMW recommends changing the timing belt every 60K miles and the water pump every 120K miles. The belts and pumps are not that expensive and it beats having to go back in and replace them later. Note that on the M3's there is a timing chain rather than a belt.

You have to remove the alternator, driving belts (serpentine belt, stirring pump belt). After that remove the engine mount on the passenger side of the car (do not forget to put something underneath the engine before removing the mount).
