Hey everyone im looking at buying the above car.
Does anyone know of any concerns I should look out for on these models?
I understand the turbos suffered on the earlier models with turbos, Is it the same on the 320d E90? (163bhp)
Also timing chains, Iv never owned a car with a timing chain iv always had belts. Anything I should look out for do they need changing etc?
Sorry about the questions but im moving from the older VW scene to a newer platform and fancy a bm but need a little knowledge about them first.
Anything else I should look out for?

Do they go well after a remap?
Quicker than the 140bhp mk5 golf platform?

Looking at one tomoz cant wait. A big move from the 1.8t bora but hopefully worth it. :whistle:
-
also think about the e60s some real bargains just now with them :smiley:
-
get an M47TU last seen around 07 Reg, Do not buy a 2.0D from 57-59 Engine code N47.
timing chain will probably snap at 70k :lipsrsealed:

Went for this 320d :cool:

Might aswell post here -
Looked a nice BMW e81 120i m sport 3 door today!!
Full spec very nice!! Not bothered about performance anymore!!
Any advice with these

n43 engine? nightmare for misfires, you may as well stick 4 coils, 4 plugs, and 4 injectors in it for starters, and update the dme
fortunately there is a recall on the coils so youll get those done

Deisel for only 6k a year!? Hardley worth it?
Working it out - finance wise I think I'll give it a miss for now!! Shame as it was lovely!

Yes its a much better engine than the 120i, unless its a 135i the diesel variants are better :evil:

Must be auto, full leather 3 door! :laugh:

Secondhand BMWs are great buys. If you have only driven front wheel drive VWs then prepare your face for a big RWD smile.
-
Agreed, I drove the bimmer yesterday all day and I love it!
Rear wheel drive, cruise control, over 60mpg chilling at 70mpg :whistle:
Saving money already haha
