When should the timing chain of the BMW X3 F25 be changed?
Years 2010-2017

Answer

The replacement of the timing chain is essential to avoid serious damage to the engine; its breakage can cause the valve to bend and the need to open the engine. The replacement interval is indicated in the use and maintenance booklet but it is always preferable to rely on a trusted mechanic who will be able to advise you on when to carry out the intervention. The type of use and any damage to the parts connected to the belt could lead to anticipation of the maintenance operation.
