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.

[@aa-kv2pq]

Your lucky to be fair the chain issues are real on these

[@tremorbradley9214]

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.

[@pints6994]

I have an e90 with the N47 engine and I’m currently at 305,000km which I think is around 185-190k miles. 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.

[@stevec1097]

I do love a 3-series. Had an 55 plate E90 which I bought with 150k-ish miles on it, and I took it to 174k miles before I sold it and it gave me absolutely no grief… on top of that, maintenance and upkeep was cheap/reasonable. Granted, secondhand they aren’t the highest spec cars, unless someone has previously paid for loads of optional extras, but they still drive nicely and do have an extra feel of luxury over counterparts. I also think they externally and internally age better that their German counterparts from the same era.

E91 was much better put together sadly, drove them back to back - F31 and E91 and got a late 2012 318d E91 used. 160,000+ miles later its been an absolute gem of a car, countless trips to Europe, and all over the place - keep the oil services strict (every 8-10k) and it will be a happy car!

2015 F30 facelift, with the B47 engines have the timing chain fixed

[@karter5351]

It will,be a £3500 car until,the timing chain borks on you and swallows the other £1500

[@randomness4336]

I love a car like this. Simple, basic, less electronics. Less headache to own.

[@Matt-go7ss]

That's the boggiest of bog standard spec BMW I've seen in a while. At least the wheels look half decent

[@M.Godfrey]

You should film your repairs bro we’d love to see you fixing stuff

[@simonh870]

12 years old, N47, 130,000 miles, low spec... I wouldn't say it was especially cheap.

[@thomas05ish]

Manual seats ? On a car this age means there’s less to go wrong, that’s a plus in my book. KISS anyone? Enjoyed the video.

[@magnussiimjensen746]

3300£ is insanely cheap for a great car like this. This one would cost around 14000£ in Denmark

[@Almightyboj]

I should come to Denmark to sell my 2013 335i Xdrive 😂 got it advertised for €16,000 in Bulgaria and there is no interest 🤔

Eek as the former owner of a 320d M Sport I have PTSD at that ‘BOING’ chime! Boing - £800! Boing - £300! Boing - £1200!

[@MyRealName]

This is a 13.000 Euro car anywhere in Europe at the moment. UK prices of used cars are so bizarre to me.

[@williamegler8771]

Why? Right-hand drive limits the available buyers and limited buyers mean lower prices.

[@MyRealName]

@@williamegler8771 It's a country with a population of over 60 million people. Surely that doesn't make the cars be regularly less than a quarter of the price of the left hand drive equivalent? Take Germany for example, the same car will be sold within the country will never depreciate nearly as much. Same goes for any other European country. Still makes no sense to me.

[@maitremonkey5561]

Well in UK everybody sees how old your car is on the license plate, so prices are much lower.....

[@MyRealName]

@@maitremonkey5561 How does that make sense? Every car's age can be checked when your buying it?

[@williamegler8771]

@MyRealName How many of those 60 million people purchase a new or used vehicle annually? A car sold in Germany could be driven throughout mainland Europe or exported to left-hand drive countries

[@chr15b]

There is something nice about driving a smooth dull car. I recently sold my Focus ST (Bought following your review) for a Corolla Hybrid (Again, after watching your review) and much prefer driving the Corolla.

I would have given you an extra £500 for it if paintwork sorted and the little ding you can see on rear wing in video. Plus a deep clean of the interior, especially seats..

[@allanwilson8161]

Hi On a F30 BMW with a 2.0 D engine will have a N47 engine which are prone to timing chain issues when serviced in accordance with BMW service suggestions ie up to 19,000 mile intervals not a good idea !

[@randomdaveUK]

One of my pet peeves is people who get optional leather seats but not heated seats 😐 it's the UK, it gets cold, it's often cold. This spec with the cloth interior, you don't need heated seats but does look very basic
