Too little too late - I hate being right.

Both chains stretch and a service bulletin should have been issued.
I have not heard of a single case on a newer car (04/2015 or newer) with this happening and believe the new chains fix the issue until I am proven wrong.

The ELW supports this 100%.
I needed an complete engine replacement as a result of chain failure and was somewhat covered, but still paid many thousands out of pocket on a vehicle 3 months out of warranty. So while this may look like BMWNA 'doing the right thing' it has taken them far too long to recognize the issue when they could have issued this ELW over 2 years ago based on what we know.
