If it'd been done wrong it would have failed by now or there would be obvious signs of poor running. Changing a cam chain is bread and butter work to most garages.

Full service history at BMW dealer, bought the parts from BMW dealer but got those other guys to do the work?
Does sound a bit on the cheap, and I'd guess full service history means the absolute minimum 20k miles or whatever oil changes.
On the other hand, 40k of those miles were done in 2 years, so probably a lot of motorway miles.
At £6.5k it sounds like a decent bet.
