Timing chain snapped, never herd of that. i thought timing chains dont break.
Most cars make a grinding noise when changing gear, esp if your stood outside the car u can hear it more, if you can hear it in car when driving then i would worry..
Modern cars can go a lot more than 60,000 miles, at least double that before you start to get a lot of faults and problems. i wouldnt sell it considering youve just had the engine replaced.


After looking online it seems it is a fault from bmw that the timing chain broke, when theyre suppose to last the life of the car. did you ask bmw for a good will gesture to help you fix your engine.
