The evolution of the system in Bohmian mechanics includes the motion of the particles which is a non-linear and highly non-trivial equation which allows for chaos to appear.
Classical mechanics emerges from the theory under suitable conditions. An outline of the reasoning can be found in https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0112005 https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0112005
There is a strong suspicion in the Bohmian community that the sensitivity to initial conditions in Bohmian mechanics is an important piece of the sociological explanation for the embrace of the collapse theory of QM a hundred years ago, long before a full appreciation of such sensitivity was widely appreciated in non-linear dynamic systems.
