Timing chain issue concerning
This timing chain (guide) issue has me regretting the purchase of my first BMW in 20 years. I was happy to hear the N-20 had a chain and not a belt. I remember the BMW 4 cylinder engines of the past were bullet proof if maintained.
1. Is this problem as big as the forum claims or is it very few in reality?
2. Are people paying independent shops to replace this proactively? If yes how much?
Too me this is the real issue, carbon build up that cost $400 to have blasted out is maintenance.
I really love this car and am happy I purchased an extended COP unlimited milage 4 year warranty but am still wishing I never purchased my x1. I don’t like plastic cheap parts that can destroy a $24,000 engine at any time.
