Very unfortunate, however, at least they are doing a recall. Wish they would do the same for the N20 timing chain/guides as well

I went to my Croatian dealer today, they checked the car key. I have one software update that needs to be carried out but nothing for the engine. And if something comes up, they'll let me know. 330i, 1/2019.

They increased the warranty length for timing guides/chain, my X1 has been increased to 7y/125k according to my dealer

WOW! You mean BMW is really doing a recall on this? What about the previous bearing issues in e46 M3s and E9X S65 engines from back in the day?
