Hey guys! Want to know if 2010 r57s are still vulnerable to timing chain issues or do they come with updated parts from the factory?

TIA!

It's possible, no doubt. But it's usually related to improper maintenance and lack of frequent oil changes.
Keeping up with you oil level and proper changes (more frequent that MINI's recommendations) will prolong timing chain and tensioner life.
