BMW N20/N26 Timing Chain Installation DIY Part 2 - Assembly & Startup (328i, 320i, 228i, 428i, X1)

►Part Two of Two: There is one major Achilles heel with the BMW N20 and BMW N26 engines, the timing chain. BMW N20 timing chain issues are known to cause potentially catastrophic effects if not maintained properly. Because there isn't much information out there regarding how to actually replace the timing chain and guides, we put together this start-to-finish DIY video to show you how it's done.

Part one of our BMW N20 timing chain replacement DIY, linked below, focuses primarily on the diagnosis, removal, and disassembly of the job. Part two outlines the installation, re-assembly, and start-up procedures.

BMW N20 Timing Chain Extended Warranty: Recently, BMW released an extended warranty that covers the timing chain and drive chain for the oil pump. A limited warranty for defects in materials or workmanship has been extended to 7 years/70,000 miles as determined from the original in-service date. This coverage is subject to the same vehicle eligibility requirements, limitations, and exclusions that apply to the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty for passenger cars and light trucks.

BMW N20 Timing Chain Replacement Costs: If you were to take a comparable vehicle to your local BMW dealership and have the job quoted/installed, depending on parts/availability/location, we estimate a roughly $5,000 estimate for parts and labor.
