The car has the N47 engine which had chain issues but BMW claimed they were fixed by 2009 and only risk was of a noisy chain. Some people did have problems with later cars though. The B47 series new design came in about May-ish 2014 depending on model. I have had several N47 with no chain problems - the main issue is public perception of risk.

sadly the chain on my 2010 320D touring let go, was very tempted to have it fixed but the car was just a bit too small anyway. That said with 12000 mile oil changes it made it to 187000 miles despite a BMW remap. It was a cracking all rounder though. Had a new 330e touring as a hire car recently. Very nice, very competent, much bigger but has lost something.

I’ve owned it for a couple of years now and have put a huge amount of mileage on it, oil is changed every 8000km/ 5k miles and my car couldn’t be healthier. They’re great cars if you mind them. A lot of people neglect their cars and then whinge when they break down which just creates bad perceptions.

@Mark-uw9kz don't get me wrong I've seem plenty on high miles. They are not the sort of car a dealer wants to get involved with at 130k miles just too much risk.

@@DaleSteel i agree, my thoughts are £1200 for the timing chain replacement vs the value of the vehicle vs the likelihood of other failures at this age/mileage. My intention is to keep it until it fails or becomes uneconomical to repair with a reserve in place already to replace when it happens not if it happens. 👍

Who ever buys that will be well P'd off if they think they're buying a full fat 320d and don't do their home work. The EfficientDynamics is a propper poverty spec aimed at fleet buyers with a detuned engine that makes only 160bhp to keep fuel consumption and CO2 emissions as low as possible so you don't get your pants pulled down on company car tax.

My personal favourite is the 335d/435d/640d etc, they suffer none of the timing chain issues that were a problem with 2.0L N47 diesel engines. Purely a personal opinion but I think the N57 diesels are the best ever made, especially when mated to the ZF 8HP gearbox

Finally car been waiting for. Awesome I love this engine That engine is truly remarkable not only for reliability (when properly maintained) but fuel economy
