Timing chains can also be found on many cars from:
Daimler-Chrysler
General Motors
Ferrari
Porsche
Toyota
Volkswagen
...just to name a few. Not to mention, all sorts of motorcycle engines use chains.
Assuming that BMW is the only manufacturer using chains rather than belts is really kind of strange.

and to that person that said nissan uses chains, not all nissans use chains. the VQ30 (300zx) and VQ35 (maxima) use a belt.

With an engine capable of spinning to 9K, I feel a little more at ease with a chain. It would suck to have a failure at a high RPM as the S2000 is an "interference" engine. (If I'm not mistaken)
