E46 cam chain

[hersh]

Hi all
I have a 2005 330ci petrol thats done 89k
Been told its up for a new cam chain ( no record of it being done before)
Anyone know of someone around mid Cornwall they trust to do the job?
Won't go to Howard's on cardrew, as they were very off hand
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Pretty sure the m54 timing chain will last the lifetime of the engine (unlike the more recent engines) so wouldn’t worry about it.

Would be looking at overhauling the cooling system though-rad, water pump, thermostat and hoses as that's the main weak point.
