Your right, we don't know the median failure km. What we do know is that these cars aren't that old, and the issues are happening.
My dealer said that they did many 2012 F30s and X3s had a higher rate. They said it was the worst of all the years. They said they always had at least one car in on timing chain for quite some time on those models. It couldn't have been very high mileage a few years ago. They said 2013 and up is better but still prevalent. He said it's not a one off case.

thats funny. when i spoke to my dealership they where like "we havent done a single one, is that a common issue?" they're all liars.
