Timing chain

Manufacturers recommended timing chain replacement interval for BMW 7 series 3.0 diesel is 200,000 km.
Based on real life experience, the BMW 740Ld xDrive 2015 timing chain change interval is approximately 120,000 km as at this mileage it may become overstretched and require replacement, so it is recommended to check the condition of the chain periodically after this mileage is reached and replace the timing chain if it becomes excessively stretched or if unusual engine noises occur.
