This is interesting as we had a timing chain failure on my wife's E87 a couple of months ago and it was all taken care of (100% parts and labour) by BMW. I suspect they would have known this was in the pipeline at that time.
Bill would have come to £5,350 ish so good job they picked up the tab as the car is a 2008 120d with 119k on the clock and therefore worth about £5k.... I'm in no way diminishing the utterly sterling job that our now 'fave' BMW dealership did in securing said goodwill from BMW. Thanks Soper BMW Lincoln (JP). |

Noticed that early F10 (2010) N47 had timing chain issues. I found that owners were getting rid of them on ebay after work was done at bmw.

Do you know if this is for UK only or for a larger area? In a swedish forum we are talking about the bulletin that arrived early this year. But according to the requests made at BMW dealers, it seems that it's most, but not exclusive, cars from early model years that are covered by that bulletin. |

This is interesting. I have the 2011 318d LCI and I think mine has the N47 if I'm not mistaken?
On a sidenote my housemate has the 2006 318d, will his also have the N47? I think I will give BMW a call tomorrow also, great thread |

My local dealer has said that my car doesn't have any outstanding QEs.
Mine is a mid 2011 car which is a N47T im guessing. Maybe its only available on the older versions of the N47? |
