Why get rid of the excellent BMW shaft drive and use a chain? You should sell this classic bike (even if it doesn't run) and get a bike with the engine removed (called a "rolling chassis") at a junkyard. The price of that BMW will likely finance your project.

What are the major differences and similarities between gear drive and chain drive?

They are similar in that both designs give longer service life compare to a belt driven camshaft and they do not need replacement within the expected life of the engine. They are different in that a chain driven camshaft is turned by a chain running off the crankshaft and a gear driven set up transmits the turning force from the crankshaft all the way up to the camshaft using gears alone. A chain drive set up may have some sort of tensioning device for the chain that may occasionally wear out

What is the purpose of chain driven bike?

If you have a bike with direct drive, like the old penny farthings and a kids tricycle, then the size of the drive wheel will seriously limit the speed you can get. But with a chain drive you can also introduce a gear ratio, allowing the drive wheel to spin faster than the pedals, making it possible to go faster.
