hi,
the reason i'm so irate about the stance BMW UK has taken is,
it seems to be caused by a manufacturers defect, a fault in the manufacture of the timing cogs in the crankshaft,
that prematurely causes the chain and then guides to wear out and become noisy, followed eventually the complete failure of the timing chain.
there are lots of references on-line to N47 engines with this failure.
and yes the car has a full bmw service history.
