I have heard about the timing chain issues, should I be overly concerned? Anything else I should look out for?

Congratulations. I also have a 2014. Just reached 60,000 miles. Yes, the time chain is a dark spot for BMWs with these engines/years. There are lots and lots of cars that don't have the problem.
If you are really concerned, you can always do the time chain replacement to version 2015 or 16, when BMW did a modification that fixed the problem. So far I have not identified if the solution is a slightly different design or better plastic material for the guides.
