My car F10 520D is July 2011 build with N47D20O1 engine and the timing chain is currently making horrible noise both BMW dealer technician and indy have said the noise is due to the dreaded timing chain. Based on the information above, I had always believed timing chain problem would not affect my car as it was produced after March 2011.

To make matter worse as I mentioned in my earlier thread I am waiting for my G30 order. This incident is making me lose faith in BMW and I am not sure whether I should not cancel my G30 order. Especially as the dealer now seems to be back tracking on the guarantee value for my F10.

The indy says it is going to cost £1200.00 and BMW says about £2000.00 and would not be able to ask for BMW goodwill contribution until they have stripped the engine and officially diagnose the fault

So which way should I go for repair? Indy or BMW dealer?
Should I cancel my G30 order as I tend to hold to my cars for long periods
