2016 328i Timing Chain
My 2016 328i xDrive was built on 5/15. I know BMW resolved the timing chain issue before Jan of 2015, but my timing chain is a dark orange color. Isn't that the color of the faulty one?

Not necessarily. All plastic rails are white when new installed. However reaction with oil and high temp make both of them orange. Hopefully you have the new one,but I don't know how to identify them. Assembly date is also kind of questionable because multiple assembly plants managing multiple batches of engines don't gives me confidence. So I opted for 2017 B46 engine, and now fingers crossed for my wife's 2014... for sure the TC of concern.

Kies just put out a new video about warranty for this issue. Depending on your state SULEV cars can be covered for up to 150k miles. Worth checking into.
