Hi Amar,

It all depends on the service history and the care and attention the car has received in the the past. That’s not especially high mileage for the age, so if it comes with a fully-stamped up service book then there shouldn’t be any major issues, and the 2.0-litre turbo engine seems to be reliable, but they can develop problems with the timing chain tensioners, so check and see if it’s had work done on those already. It’s best to buy from a BMW dealer, as they give an excellent pan-European two-year warranty on all approved used cars.
