Hi guys. I have a common question regarding the N47D20 engine timing chain, so no need to create new thread.

I bought a 2008 320d N47 with full history. The first engine got the chain snapped so the guys put there a different, rebuild engine. after the rebuild with aftermarket timing chain from +- 2015 it was driven just on highway, oil changed every 11-12k km (7k miles).

My question is, how long the chain will be okay? It sounds healthy now with 120k km (75k miles) after the rebuild. I have just a minor experience with chain driven cars. All my previous were belt driven.

Thanks for the answer, Filip.
