2013 BMW 320D - After 132,000 Miles Review

[@pauljohnson3686]

A regularly serviced 320d will easily pass the 200k mileage mark and further... .. Regular services and replacement of parts as and when needed... .. No problem at all

[@ArmaganDemiral]

Debatable, maybe a different car but not a BMW

[@pauljohnson3686]

@@ArmaganDemiral Yes I mean a BMW....I bought my first 3 series 320d with 184,000 miles on..... My current one is now at 153,000 miles and no problems... Like I said... Regular services are key.... Happy New year

@@ArmaganDemiral I always see very high mileage BMWs on autotrader and gumtree, it’s all about the servicing for these especially the diesels. ZF gearbox is very reliable as long as serviced every 60k not the lifetime that bmw says.

[@demiladeaworinde]

How economical? What mpg do you average on the motorway?

[@tokmoh2000]

On centre dials turning orange at night, i really like it actually! My eyes kinda sensitive, I can't quite stand seeing white lights at night especially. The combo white at day time, then warm amber colour at night time is something I don't see any other car manufacturers do, which makes me really appreciate BMWs.

[@ArmaganDemiral]

That’s a fair argument, I somewhat agree. Good to hear a different perspective

[@tokmoh2000]

@@ArmaganDemiral yes indeed. Another thing i notice BMW does that most others don't is positioning speakers at door panel higher, so it frees up more lower pocket area. I'm like... Why don't most others do this too? It's eating so much space, you're left with tiny space just enough for 500 ml bottle, which is a bummer when you realise BMW do better at this.

[@melonheadman1]

Can these lights be changed to blue?

@@melonheadman1 maybe it can be coded, otherwise it is only white when lights off, amber when lights on.

A well looked after diesel can go for 300-400k. They get to a point where it’s no longer economical to fix it, so they’re replaced. Will run forever if serviced right which most bmw owners will do.

Just drive the car and fix it when it breaks no need to worry too much of what will break,if you can afford to purchase it you can well afford to fix it,and why would you keep a car for more than 5yrs ?

Got a 316d, same engine just detuned to 116bhp, bought it at 128k miles, now on 131k, in that time have had three new wheel bearings, timing chain, clutch and dual mass flywheel, total spend £3100, so dont buy one of these cars if you think it'll be cheap to maintain but they will soldier on well past 200k miles if well looked after, going to be servicing mine every 8k miles and pray it lasts

[@TheGamingNorwegian]

Im actually really surprised the 320d efficient dynamics uses the 2L diesel and not a smaller engine. Considering the 320i efficient dynamics uses the same 1.6L engine from the 316i compared to the regular 2L in the 320i.

[@NilsHedstrom]

Cool review! Thinking about buying a 320d from 2012-2014. Would you overall say they are reliable? and are repairs more expensive than on other cars? Prob buying one with around 100k miles but that should be fine right?

[@ArmaganDemiral]

Thank you dude! And they are not reliable cars, if the car has over 100k miles you are probs going to be fixing it majority of the time with timing chain replacements etc etc

[@NilsHedstrom]

@@ArmaganDemiral Thats the weird thing though, cause many people bash the reliability of them while others say they have owned them for a decade with 200k miles. I have a friend who owns one a 2007 one with around 150k who hasn’t had any problems yet, seems like such a lottery to buy a car

What engine does this car have? It's not the one with the timing chain issue is it 😧

Think majority of BMW’s from this era have that issue

[@MrUnknown2105]

To clarify the timing chain issue. Is relevant to the E90 model not the F30 which is this one. Albeit they use the N47 engine the one that has the timing chain issue is the engines manufactured between 2007-2008. For the later models the issue has been resolved as admitted by BMW. The reviewer is not really giving good info. I have the 2013 F30 320ED had it since 2014 at 20k miles and now it's at 125k miles and all I ever done is normal services as advised, wear and tear such as tyres and brake pads apart from that nothing else has been changed and is still running strong like a 30k miles car. Also if I knew back when I had it at 30k-60k miles I would have installed a stage 1 map. The ED engine is locked to lower bhp that it actually can produce. But even as it is pulls to 140mph on autobahn without any issue what so ever even now! Only downside is the interior looks too classic now.
