When to change my BMW 420d's chain?

When is my BMW 420d timing chain due? It is a 2014 BMW 420d F32 M Sport with 216,000km. It is regularly serviced and there is no rattling noises coming from the engine or anything.

Hi Tommy,

There is no recommended replacement schedule for the timing chain on that car - or on most cars really. If it's not noisy and the car is running well, plus you regularly service it, then there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
