Honestly, I wouldn't worry. Just make sure you service regularly. There have been timing chain issues with the N47 engine, but you'll find many owners who have never had any issues with it.

If it's not making any weird noises, it doesn't need replacing. If it does, sell it. It's a big job, which in many cases requires engine removal, and costs a lot.

It's pointless worrying about things that haven't happened.
