135k miles, don't 3IM

I'm Ireland and have a 325i m sport 3 litre manual car.
I'd love to add a 3IM and a tune to get a few extra bhp.
Is 135,000 miles too used an engine to be doing this?
Timing chain done at 100,000.
Any general advice would be great.

Only if every stock 330i was about to expire at that mileage. Absolutely zero worries, proceed with confidence.

Why was the chain done? I've had multiple BMW inline 6's over 200k and have never seen a timing chain go bad, other than the guides/tensioners on the V8 cars.
