• bmw 320d 2008 - bmw 320d timing chain, why did it fail? 16 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  Best part of £2800 later and I had a repair on my engine and a new clutch. Up until last year i kept it serviced at my local Bmw dealer, when I bought the car at just over three years of age it had 63000 miles on it and fsh. It now has 110000 miles, I have never abused my car or not serviced it when required. Neither the garage in Cardiff (national engine centre) or Dick lovett BMW could satisfactorily expain to me why it broke other than technical mumbo jumbo.

Actual charge £210. I intend to service this car optimally and keep it for 10 years and 180-200,000 miles, can you advice the optimal oil change frequency - 7000 miles, 10,000, or advised by BMW.

• BMW 3 Series Coupe (E46) - BMW 318CI Timing Chain Guide (N46 Engine) N46-20 7 Feb 2015 (Forum)
