Both my cars (E90 - April 2011 & F10 June 2012) have the N47 engine in them...

I have the E90 booked in at the dealer to be looked at next week. Even though the car was 3 years old with 21,000 miles on it when I bought it , I was given a 24 month warranty with it which expires this July. Thought I'd get it checked now and see what they say in relation to issues with the timing chain. I did listen to the engine for a while last night on idle and also at 1500rpm but I think I was trying to hear something that wasn't really there. But for piece of mind I thought I'd book it in. I've read around online that it was an issue up to March 2011 and can affect cars with both low and high mileage... Build date on mines is a month after this hence why I'm a little concerned.

The F10 is close to 75,000 miles... Touch wood, so far so good
