they replace with B48 engine for F30 LCI, and continue to use B48 engine for all new G20 series
I hope those B engine timing chains last a lifetime, good luck if that ever breaks, will cost waaay more to get that serviced than the N's, you know your timing chain is in the back of the engine like an Audi and need the engine completely taken out to get that serviced...
