Which of these 520ds to go for?
hi, can you please advise me on which of these two would be the better option for reliability, comfort and mpg for my daily 100km commute. I'm looking to upgrade from a 2003 530d msport touring. https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/bmw-5-series-2009/17361579?campaign=6 https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/2010-bmw-520d-m-sport-business-edition-2yr-nct/17966971 I notice one has the timing chain 'done' also if this is a factor. Should I be worried about the miles? thank you very much
Our answer:
Hi Glenn,
Well, we probably shouldn’t be commenting on cars for sale on a rival website (ahem, look the other way, say nothing), but when it comes to a 520d, it’s always better to buy the one that’s had its timing chain done, and that comes with a full service history.
