How much does it cost to replace the timing chain on a BMW 1 Series?
Years 2011-2019

Answer

Replacing the timing chain is a complex and expensive job. Not so much for the replacement part itself, which can cost a maximum of 200 euros, but for all the work that this operation entails. In fact, practically the entire engine needs to be disassembled, and it is definitely not a job that can be done alone. The cost of the entire operation undoubtedly approaches a thousand euros.
