The older one do have issues, apparently my N57N engine doesn't. Then again there aren't many with over 200k on them.
There's a few posts from the USA regarding 530d's with my motor in having issues with very high mileage.
The M57 doesn’t usually suffer from timing chain wear, I’ve run one to 250k. The later N57 does. (Less common than the N47.)There's a few posts from the USA regarding 530d's with my motor in having issues with very high mileage.
Car will be back soon OP - fingers crossed all covered under warranty for you. Don’t see why not. Please do keep us posted. We want to see this get to 500k miles yet! Then egg’ing you onto to 1 million mile mark ...
Very interested to know what the cost is to replace the chain on the N57 outside of warranty from a reputable BMW engine specialist garage.

Finally got a reply as to whats happening with the car.
After diagnosis the is apparently the noise was coming from the exhaust cam.
Cam has being stripped out and found to be visually normal.
The exhaust cam, followers and lifters are being replaced to see if that fixes the noise.
I'll know by Thursday afternoon.

Thank goodness for warranty. Sounds a fairly expensive job.After diagnosis the is apparently the noise was coming from the exhaust cam.

Further update:
BMW UK have sanctioned a full strip down of the engine to try and find the fault.
Sadly though, due to the lack of senior staff on the ground, it won't be done until lockdown is lifted.
Luckily I still have the Range Rover to use but I'm starting to wish I'd took them up on the loan car!

You must be able to get a loan car now that things are taking longer and getting more involved?BMW UK have sanctioned a full strip down of the engine to try and find the fault.
