N47 Timing Chain Problems

There are some stories on the web about people who had timing chain problems with the N47 diesel models. These were from engine models produced a few years ago. I don't see posts here about it here but I'm wondering if anyone has heard whether this problem was resolved. The fact that the timing chain in the N47 is at the back of the motor makes it a difficult problem to repair and I plan to keep the car a long time. I'm considering the 328d model because of the better mileage over the 328i and was hoping there was some fix to reassure me.
