keeping my head up about changing timing guides...
Do you sincerely mean that, or do you mean that because you've done it about what, three times now? :D
They're very simple on the M6x motors. They are a plastic/aluminum assembly. The early motors have 1 less guide than the later ones, since they have an idler, instead. Very simple to replace...
Well the M62 I'm picking up this weekend or next is Non-vanos. Curious if there's a sure way of checking the life of the timing guides? There are no plastic bits in the pan. The engine is from a confirmed (not word of mouth) <95,000mile 740iL, so as far as rebuilding I'm not sure the extent of what I should go.

Replace them, they'll anyway blow up around 200tkm..
They are easy to replace and do not cost too much, replace the timing chain and tensioners once you're at it.
