N47 broken chain (320d)
Hi all,
My first post so apologies if this post has a place elsewhere and not in 'general'.
I've always wanted a BMW, so in February 2015, having saved up for almost a year, I decided to buy a second hand 57 plate 320d (with N47 engine). On Saturday evening it broke down. I rang my mechanic friend who quickly established it was a broken chain and said I may have potentially done more damage (to the pistons etc). As you can imagine I was horrified!
I rang BMW who were initially very accommodating, suggested I have the car towed for 'quality enhancement' check. So I took it in this morning, only for the guy at the service desk to suggest it may be due to lack of oil! My next service was due in 4.5k miles, nor did the car send any 'oil check' warnings. The last two services were at independent garages (non BMW). The car has only done 103k.
Has anyone else had a similar experience and if so what was the outcome. Also, if BMW decide not to repair under recall what options do I have?
Thanks in advance Z
