The timing belt on a BMW 316i ES should typically be changed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or every 5 to 7 years, depending on driving conditions and manufacturer recommendations. It's crucial to consult the owner's manual for specific guidance related to your model year. Signs that it may need replacing sooner include unusual noises from the engine or visible wear on the belt.
