Buying a 2015 BMW 520d...

What are the common problems when buying a 2015 bmw 520d m sport with 60000 miles The car is costing me around 23000 euro I buying it from an independent dealer in Ireland and it's a UK import

Our answer:

Hi Robert,

Nothing major to worry about on that car – the F10 BMW 520d, especially a later one from 2015, is a reliable model and so it will be general wear and tear to look for. If it’s a UK car with that sort of mileage on it, then it has most likely done a lot of motorway miles and should therefore be in very good nick mechanically. Always watch, on larger, heavier cars like this, wear to things like brake discs and pads, tyres and lower suspension components (arms, bushes etc), but a motorway cruiser shouldn’t have been driven in an enthusiastic manner. Sounds like a lovely second-hand purchase.
