I have an exception near me 750000 highway miles, she replaces the timing chain every 200k miles. She is a Drug company sales rep, bought the EURO "5" speed manual 240D 17 years ago, with 28k miles from the original owner... 
She has replaced the clutch twice. (AMAZING).

Apparently the timing chain has been replaced.
