I would have a competent independent BMW shop look at it. In fact we have our '15 model checked with each oil change at the shop we use. While they can't guarantee it won't break they should be able to tell you how it's looking and sounding. Replacing the chain is an expensive proposition I wouldn't do myself unless I was pretty certain it had to be done. This issue btw is way overdone, only a small percentage of vehicles will have the chain break. Though of course you want to monitor it..
