M57 experience is (mostly) irrelevant to N57, especially re chains wear. Two completely different engines.

In N57, you can assess the main chain condition with a special measuring tool that screws into the tensioners hole. Any rattling sounds indicate almost immediate need for replacement. Which, I'm guessing, is a much familiar procedure to EU mechanics and shouldn't be as costly as here in US.
