timing chain breakage

FWIW, I saw a friend lunch a '90 190E/2.6 recently, but she is not convinced of an engine's need for oil. The timing chain broke at about 50-60 mph, while the engine had sufficient clean oil. However, I know she had let it run very low more than once, so it might be difficult to claim this was anything but the result of abuse in one of the more durable MB engines.
