Bmw timing chain?
My 2011 bmw 320 has 163,000 miles on it , I bought the car with 155,000 on it just wondering when it would be due a timing chain change? Last owner wasn't sure when it was changed last, I would presume it has been changed at least once, any help thanks

Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine. However if it's noisy it may need replacing. Any BMW dealer will confirm this if you phone and identify the car.
