My E90 318I which is coming to 5 years had this Engine Malfunction Sign and Oil Leak while driving . I tried to drive to the workshop but during the journey , the engine didn't sound right and i had to go to the road shoulder and get it towed to the workshop . The workshop folks was telling me that the timing chain was loose and as a result caused some damage to the cam shaft and it might also cause some damage to the engine block as well . Today i got a call from them that i may even need to replace my engine? Have any bros encountered such problems before that will result in replacing an engine? My mileage is only around 55K . Not sure of what to do now?:(
 
Re: Engine Malfunction Sign and Oil Leak

for a car that ran only 55k cannot be damaged this bad. Ask the mechanic what made the timing again loose, have that rectified and you personally inspect it too.

N46 timing chain problems not very common. How is the state of the timing chain guide rails ?
