Mini B36a15a chain issues, this time it wasn't actually the chain at fault, when we disassembled it we found that 1 if the camshaft phaser check valves had failed firing parts into the phaser and blowing the vanos seals on the exhaust side.
Removed everything, flushed the block, removed and inspected the oil pump and pick up for damage, replaced everything damaged and job done..
