Normaly you don't change the timing chain on bmw 520d model 2008 it supposed to last for life but the 520d model 2008 it's prone to a timing chain failure ( Design fault from Bmw ) which bmw want recognise that ! But there is a lot of people was affected ! 4% of those cars are affected . If you heard any strange noise like rattle or ticking noise coming from the back of the engine , go and check it at a Bmw Dealer , make sure to have a warranty because if it fail it cost to repaire it almost 4000£ and if it snaped you will need probably a new engine or second hand one ! Most of N47 engine from 2007 to 2011 are affected ! more info google N47 timing chain failure.
Dependent on which year the car is produced, but on the newer diesel car's from BMW the service interval is approximately 30 000 km, but it can change depending on your style of driving the car. The speedometer/odometer gives you information about when and what you should service.
If i remember right the BMW diesels have cam chain.
Not true.

You need a Draper re-set tool, sold on ebay, just go to car parts type in service reset tool BMW, I bought mine for £10.99 ,its simple 5 minute job and you can use it as many times as you want, I use it on friends and charge £10.00 a time. Don`t spend £40.00 at the local BMW garage. Regards Peter
