2013 328i vs 2017 M240i Cost of Ownership

Hey all, so as the title says I'm trying to make a decision to keep a 2013 328i or go with a 2017 M240i.

Backstory, I bought a 328i for $18k with 68k miles. 7 days later the oil pressure light came on, dealer says it's a sensor, I'm worried it's the timing chain issue. It also needs tires, shocks and I bought the bimmertech Apple CarPlay/backup camera kit. So that brings the worst-case total to around $25k.

I found a 2017 M240i with comparable miles for $32k….is it just buyers remorse that I feel like I might be better off long term with this car?

It looks like I can back out of the 328i sale
IF it is the timing chain. If not, then I can't, and I'm stuck with what feels like a ticking time bomb of an engine.
