Great set, but make sure you get a flywheel holder, not included in this set.
Worked great for N20. Note, this kit does not have the flywheel / flex plate holder, oil pump and balance shaft alignment tools. You will need that set as well. Some people have complained about the TDC tool (pin) bending after loosening or tightening the harmonic balancer bolt. You're not supposed to use the TDC tool to hold the flywheel. Use the TDC tool to find TDC. Install the flywheel holder, remove the TDC tool, then loosen the harmonic balancer bolt. Reinsert the TDC tool to confirm you're still at TDC. When tightening the harmonic balancer bolt, again, remove the TDC tool or you will bend it as you tighten the bolt.

Worked great
Worked fantastic. Everything lined up as it should. Highquality tool. The only gripe was crankshaft lock pin seemed a little on the weaker side but everything else was great. Car started up perfectly. 2014 328i

Cam locks fit perfectly snug
This special tool set is ideal. I purchase a less expensive one that left my timing off by at least a tooth. This kit work perfectly. The cam locks fit nice and snug, leaving no guess work on the timing of the cams. Still significantly cheaper than OEM. I would highly recommend.

Another Successful N20 timing chain replacement using this DPTOOL timing kit
After thinking, rethinking, studying, and more studying, I decided to go with this tool kit for replacing the timing chain on my 2014 N20 BMW 528i. The original timing chain on my BMW was still in very good condition by the way. With over 73K miles and its unpredictability of failure, I decided to replace it now that I have the time to do it at home without any pressure for having the car running in short time and not risking to have an impromptu failure in the wrong place at the wrong time.The fit of the tool is tight with good tolerances. Timing is on the spot. Everything felt in the right place with tight tolerance. I am giving it only four stars because this kit lacks of two security/safety bolts that go at the end of the legs that secure the camshafts like in the original BMW tool. Other cheap tools have them. I should have bought a kit with the bolts to follow the procedure to the T. But, I noticed the lack of them until I installed the tool, compared it with the maintenance procedure, and it was too late to return it or exchange it for another tool.Anyways, at the end, all was set and done correctly without any snags. The tool served its purpose for this DIY project. I had fun doing it and save real $,$$$ in the process. With the additional advantage that no one else would do it with the love and care that I put on my car. Now, my N20 is running perfect with the new chain. No more worries for this item.

Bought this kit for my 2015 X1 and it was exactly what I needed for the timing chain replacement on these junk motors !! Worked perfect and didn't break the bank...in fact I sold it to a friend to use on his car !! Quality construction compared to others I have seen .
