The IWIS chain is under $100 most places online. Go IWIS.

What is in the "kit" the link doesn't go anywhere for me, just a price and no info, no image. Some of those kits include the cam gears, which I personally have only ever seen worn out once on an M116/M117. I wouldn't replace cam gears just because.

Like hitmanX said, Febi is getting sort of "meh" on quality, and while I'd take them long before a URO, if I could have the OEM supplier (IWIS) for under $100, that is a no brainer to me on a part as critical as the timing chain. Why save $20 on the chain to destroy a $1,000 motor.
