2016 n20 engine question

Y6F · 12-07-2023, 08:07 AM

I have a 2016 f30 320i that has the n20 engine and it was produced in 2015/11/24
And it has 34,500 miles on it are there any expected engine problems that I will run into or parts that need to be changed now or in the future?

Change the timing chain tensioner, which was superseded in late 2016.

Just this or the whole kit?

Just the tensioner. You already have the newer chain.

Is there a specific part number for the n20 tensioner that I use or any tensioner
