Checking in on this a year later. I have a mid year 2015 with N20. It's supposed to have the new TC plastic design. Am I out of the woods or the TC guide is still considered a maintenance item? Thanks

I just wanted to pop back in here and make sure everybody knew about FCP's new 2 part timing chain DIY. It is the only DIY that I know of on this job and they really did put a lot of effort into capturing the details. Hope someone finds it helpful!
Part 1 Part 2

My indy shop quoted me just at $3000 for the full 9 yards..... New Timing Chain kit, Oil Pump chain kit, Oil pan/gasket, Valve cover gasket, fresh coil packs, and plugs. I will probably have them do the trans service and OFHG as well...so looking at close to 4k to make it new again hahahaha
Great deal. Just don't know if it's worth it or if that 3k should go towards a newer 3series....decisions, decisions....

Went to 3 shops here in SoCal and first shop that is BMW "certified" quoted $3000 for timing chain kit and oil pump guide/chain, second shop repairs a lot of european cars including Lamborghini, Porsche, Audi, BMW...quoted me $1500 for the kit then the last shop I went to also does European cars quoted me $1600 which includes the kit, oil pump guide/chain kit AND the crank sprocket(the owner seemed to have worked on these numerous times, also stated that if the Vanos are bad, it's additional $600). For those who have the N26, we are covered with the SULEV warranty which covers the VANOS.

Man speaking of this dreaded TC issues, well i had my Indy look and hear and he confirmed it was going on me, i asked him about the whinning noise's as i don't have that nearly as loud. He said just listen closely and u can hear the slapping sounds its making, disregard the regular diesel/ticking noises. The whinning he says is the turbo, but mine is a faint whine.
He said its better to just get a brand new engine , parts+labor incl for: $6k But now since its not destroyed yet, i will be departing her very shortly, gonna sell it to Carvana, KBB has her at: $11k for Trade In Value..

The cost of the kit at FCP is back down to $615. I recall it being $7xx two weeks ago... I might pull the trigger on buying the kit in addition to the crank hub washer and the three timing chain guide bolts that are not in the kit. Returns good for 90 days so that's third week of Nov, two weeks past the date I would get the work done if the recall doesn't go through.

I had my car done here in Italy since I'm stationed here, I payed $1500 and they used the same parts on the list above, the chain is single pieces like in the pictures posted, the car feels faster but diesel engine sounds still almost the same. I didn;t have any issues before besides asking for more oil once in the past 5 years. I hope I don't even have any issues cause the car is amazing otherwise.
