There are three sizes, but only two wheelbases: the 'extra long' (now designated L3) features a lengthy wheelbase, while both the 'long' (L2) and 'compact' (L1) share the same wheelbase.

Re: The BMW 520d F11 abruptly ceased operation while in motion.

A broken chain should be indicated as a cam sensor error code with accurate diagnostics. A straightforward test is to detach the cam sensor and see whether the cam rotates during ignition.

I have experienced failures in low-pressure fuel pumps where they continue to produce noise, yet the impeller detaches from the shaft or slips. A pressure range of 4 to 6 bar is considered optimal. A proficient diagnostic tool can assess both low and high-pressure readings, as well as injector perfo...
