These guys do more volume in sales and service than any other BMW dealer in town, maybe even the country.

Take that for what it's worth. Seems to be reflected in the poll answers in this thread with majority saying no issues.
To follow this sentiment, the largest non BMW repairshop in town, well respected and quite busy with BMW's locally, have done zero timing chain repairs, none at all, and according to one of the two big bmw dealers in town, they have only done a "couple" of TC jobs on n20's over the last few years... how much truth there is to that i dont know, but i trust the independent bmw shop i spoke to first.
