I believe timing chain failure is not common on the N57. How many miles/km do you have on your car?

i have 280000KM

There is a youtube video of someone who replaced this himself. A very big job. Either engine or transmission out as the chain is in the back.

iwis is the OEM for many of the BMW chains. I have no info on the guides, for this, I just buy from BMW just to be safe.

Get the updated OEM one. The updated chain has 40% thicker inner chain links.
