Loads of us on babybmw.net had issues. BMW would not officially recognize it as a fault. Many replaced the whole timing chain kit. Some lucky folks had a contribution from their BMW dealer - towards labour etc.
That being said the view is that the B58 is more robust. Many have put a lot of miles on the B58 and plenty have had them tuned/ chipped without issues. As long as you serviced it and many used shorter intervals for oil changes...
I had a N55 in my 335i that blew out the turbo at 75k. The only concern with the BMW engine is the turbo. BMW moved to plastic turbo and was told from an independent BMW dealership that the turbos tend to go between 65 to 100k. Now I abused that car and was much younger.
