I have not read anything about them changing out the engine, though there was this article from 2012 about BMW doubling down on their use of the chain at the rear of the engine, supposedly to go into production cars this year (2014), but I've not read where they've actually started using the engines.

Since BMW will not own up to the timing chain problem (publicly), the best we can do is to see what the BMW owners community has said about it. According to the c
