Hello,

I am new here and interested to gather some advise to assist with purchase decision on a used BMW. I am looking at the engine first, car next and have short listed a few below inclusive of details and problems in brackets, would like to hear your thoughts on this and recommend a better option if available.
  • BMW N46 - 320i E90 2011 (Oil Leaks)
  • BMW N43 - 320i E90 2005 (Oil Leaks)
  • BMW B47 - 320d F30 (Timing Chain Issue)
  • BMW N47 - 320i F30 (Timing Chain Issue)
A bit further info on my preference:
  • Only looking at Naturally Aspirated, no Turbo
  • Planning to use for daily short distances daily (~2km), weekly long distance (~40km), occasionally some long distance trips - roughly about 5K km a year
  • Low frequency and low cost of maintenance
  • Possibility of DIY esp with things like air filter, fuses, simple things
  • Planning to keep the engine/vehicle for 5 years or more
Happy to hear your recommendations and personal experiences.

Thank you
 
I think u meant 100k km etc for ur poll rite?

Wld strongly suggest the 320d. The torque is addictive, and perhaps ur full tank can last up to a month! Also, preventive maintenance is a must in order to keep the car running trouble free. If possible, get a unit with full service records, and hv it checked by a trusted specialist.

Good luck!
