Does the engine sound normal?
or
is it the dreaded timing chain / guide ive been reading here a lot.
I had no idea lol
i'm getting it checked by the mechanic 2 weeks from now.
I will be gone most of the time, except for 3-4 days i have to drive.

What are your thoughts?
safe to drive those 3-4 days?
Interested to hear how you make out...we are 144K (KM) on a 2015 x3 N20.

But the sounds I am hearing is the High Pressure Fuel pump/injectors....yep sounds like a diesel - most noticable on cold start.
