2016 x6 3.0d. 70k miles
Morning Paul Sorry to hear that, the Mechanic was I fear generating work at your expence. First sign of chain wear is a definite rattle on cold start, if you listen with a probe you will hear a wooshing sound as the chain guides are a type of plastic. If someone tells you chain wear drain the oil and filter it through a paper coffee filter any metal bits will show up in the filter My brother inlaw has run 5 series Touring since the early 2000's he is now on his 6th all have been 3.0d (basically the same engine) or its diretives all have been ECU tuned, the current one 540d xDrive runs almost 400hp. His business is Europe based so his cars get driven hard and all have exceeded 200k before trading in for the next model. All have had full BMW histories with interim oil and filter changes at 5 to 6k intervals. He has had some odd bits fail as we all do but never had a chain problem. Dave -

To runflat or not to runflat.
Morning John I went from Run Flat to Non Run Flat for one simple reason availabilty, when I needed a rear tyre in an emergency. That was mid 2000's and I know things have probably changed but since then I have stuck to non runflat as both the E53 and the E70 rum 20" staggered set ups both cars are currently on Hankook non runflat's cost is also a benefit at around half the cost of Michelin or Bridgestone Dave -

To runflat or not to runflat.
Now that the tailgate thing is sorted can I please ask for opinions on runflats. My X340i is running Bridgestones all round and they're probably 1000 miles from needing replacement. I've always used runflats on numerous cars that I have run but I'm seriously considering going to non runflats when the change is needed. My insurers (LV) don't seem to have any issues following a phone call but I reckon that something in writing would be good. What opinions are there out there?
