Auto or manual? They eat clutches due to a CDV (Clutch Delay Valve). Solid cars, my girlfriend has the 320D M Sport E92. The seatbelt extenders that are supposed to pass you the seat belts will most likely miss the belts, either pull the fuse or code them out. Luckily the 3L diesel doesn't have the chain problems that the 2L diesel does .

Shame you're not closer, I can code all the options and things on them . Got myself an E61 525D (Facelift so its the 3L diesel).

Oh and being an SE, I don't think it will have the 19" alloys, if it does, they are prone to cracking.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic? Only the 1 engine is prone to timing chain issues, the N47 engine, it will start making noises a good while before it goes (at around 100K miles, so it still has a longer lifespan than a cambelt, yes its a nasty thing to change though). How many other engines have they made that don't have any problems? . Good little engines though, 181BHP from factory in the E92. Although I do quite like my M57D30TU2 engine
