Workmate has a 62 plate 116d, bought used from a BMW main dealer a couple of years ago, looks like the camchain has gone ping.

Were there any recalls on these later engines? I know the earlier ones were bad, but I thought they fixed this nonsense in about 2010?

The chain of my neighbours 2012 318d snapped at 88k recently. He was planning to get it looked at at 90k!

The N47 was never fixed. I saw a 63 plate one today that had broken but don't know the mileage. 64 plate was the start of the B47 that so far seems to be OK.
