Consumer Description
Timing chain system failed. Inspection no longer possible due to being repaired in order to be used and not blow engine. Daughter driving on freeway to Phoenix, AZ in 115+ degree weather and left to sit on side of rode with no A/C until tow truck able to tow vehicle rest of way to Phoenix, AZ. Chandler BMW confirmed issue and repaired. Independent service provider in hometown informed me of every BMW owner having this issue a few months after repair. Discovered class action lawsuit from several years ago after research regarding this exact issue. Unknown of symptoms prior to failure, but vehicle has been very well maintained since purchase just about a year ago (2 trips to independent service provider in hometown and one trip to Chandler BMW mentioned above). Approximately 105,000 miles on vehicle at time of timing chain issue.
