It would be fun to know what percentage of BMW V8s need timing chain guide replacements. When you look on the forums, it seems like EVERYONE has problems. Meanwhile there are soccer Moms with 200k miles on their 4.4 and have no clue that their motor is about to grenade! The irony...

My motor has been opened up to do the valley pan gasket, and the previous owner (BMW tech) gave the guides the "A-Ok". That was 20k miles ago...
