Timing chain tensioner update
2003 X5 4.6is timing chain tensioner. I replaced it.
Installed the latest and greatest part. I knew this was coming, but unnerving all the same. The initial 1 to 2 seconds sound awful. It took a few seconds to build up pressure. I'm sure it's totally normal but sounded like the last gasp of death for the rare 4.6. It's not a difficult procedure, and I feel they are a 50K replacement item. Since the timing chain guides are a known problem, I feel a good tensioner (Might) stave off the damage.
