That being said, I have a 2013 528i and have my fingers permanently crossed. Car is approaching 100k and so far, knock on wood, no issues. I have done the very basic timing chain pull test and it seems good so hopefully I am one of the lucky ones.
Thanks. At the rate I'm putting miles on now, I'll be close to 100k by this time next year.
