Is BMW 3 series, diesel with 70000 miles a good buy ?
Hi Mary,
Yes, but make sure it comes with a full, watertight service history and get a warranty. That 2.0-litre diesel engine has a habit of breaking the timing chain and it’s a massive job to repair. If it’s been properly looked after in the past, it should be OK, but if there are any gaps in the service history, at all, walk away.
