Luckily, BMW replaced mine for free, they will replace the chain completely free if you have under 70k miles or 7 years... which I don't think you fall under.
So make sure you check the timing chain, check the service records from carfax or something else (if you got it from a dealer, they should give you the carfax for free) and ensure transmission fluid has been changed because ZF transmissions are recommended to change fluid around 60,000 miles. Check brake pads and other regular preventative maintenance areas!
Otherwise, sick car brother and congrats, drive fast drive safe.  |
I thought late 2014-15 edition already have the new design, but yours was not? |
As far as I know, the timing chain issue was solved for vehicles with production dates of 2015 and newer. My 2015 328i had a "production" date of 2014.
