I cant help feeling that things like timing chain problems on the N47 as well as other makes (some VAG and Peugot engines) have partly come about because of extended service intervals.
In the old days (eg M54 engine) it was virtually unheard of for things like the timing chains to wear out, however the oil change interval was probably half that of modern CBS engines
The industry has gone towards making cars need minimal routine maintenance for the first 3 or 4 years, after which they're someone elses problem
