N57 timing chain: fitment, code, and buying notes

An N57 bought because of chain or bearing noise is still ordered by suffix. A 535d chain job is not a reason to fit a 530d engine. The page names the engine code, the cars it fits, and what was checked, in words a workshop can use. Call or WhatsApp +1 347 383 8076 if you want that confirmed before you order.
