Common BMW engine faults
N47 timing chain failure
Rattling from the rear of the engine on cold start is the classic warning. The chain runs at the back, so it's an engine-out job done properly — we replace the full chain kit.
N57 and turbo issues
Turbo and timing wear on higher-mileage straight-sixes — diagnosed at source before any parts go on.

BMW engine FAQs
Is the BMW N47 timing chain worth fixing?
Usually yes — the car is often worth far more than the repair. We replace the full chain kit properly so it doesn't recur.
How do I know if my BMW timing chain is going?
A rattle or whine from the back of the engine on cold start is the tell-tale sign. Get it checked before it fails.
