    Ah, the timing chain slipped out, this should be a quick fix. The manual says to… REMOVE THE ENTIRE ENGINE FIRST!?

      And you have to retune the whole engine timing too right cause they relied on the precision of the timing chain so much. But thats mainly a problem on the later i4 based engines(including their v8 which is pretty embarrasing tho i guess nowadays a premium german car having serious problems is just usual). The m52 and m54 are made out of vibranium from my experience and they run like heaven to this day.
