Again.

This time apparently the timing chain is worn out, which sounds completely insane. Unfortunately the car just passed 100 000km which makes my insurance not valid. 2500€ repair...

Somebody else had this problem?

I am having this problem that you have now. I am also from Sweden and have a 2008 with 85000 km and my waranty is out. I am getting the fault code 2A98
and yellow engine light. When i start the car cold i dont have these problems but after ive been driven for about 10-20 km the engine light sometimes appears and when i turn the car of and try to turn it on the second after, I get a very long start time, about 5 seconds and then the engine light turns up right after. The fault code indicates that there might be a problem with the camshaft/crankshaft sensors or that there is something with the chain.

Bmw_ET please pm me I would really like to discuss this further with someone that has been talking to mechanics in Sweden.
