try your luck mate

bmw main dealer or bmw UK which ever, they don't even cover mine 30,000 miles 08 plate car, so do you think they will cover over 100k Miles car. they don't want to know over 3 years old vehicle.

i had same experience with bmw 1 series and 3 series 2005 onwards when i use to sell loads of bmw. common problem timing chain jump due to low quality of plastic tensioner which runs timing chain. Try to contact bmw specialist in your area or i will suggest one bmw specialist http://www.rawspares.co.uk speak to Robert or Charlie on 0208 684 9353 they will help you to fix the problem if engine not damage, make sure don't try to start the vehicle. Cost approx £500 or more subject to check the engine properly. better pay them and get it fixed instead of taking the car back. try your luck to get some money from customer towards the repairs. thanks
