    2012 BMW 5 series N47, timing chain snapped while driving. i have contacted BMW. they tell me that i can apply for a reduction in the repair cost or possibly BMW will cover the cost completely (unlikely). The catch is it costs €295 to make this application.

    also
    they tell me that the cost is 3k to repair a car with broken chain (they have not seen the car).

    also update on the legal situation FYI

    Is anyone in this situation at the min?

    Try a different dealer, I dealt with Frank Keane when I had N47 issues and his test/application for goodwill price was a lot cheaper than another well known Dublin dealer that had previously quoted me.
