Just a bit of advice to fellow BMW. Fans
Anyone looking at buying a 120d 320d or 520d
As a 2nd car or for the wife
DONT
Sons had 9 in over the last month
With snapped timing chains or cranks
These have varied from 2013 to 2007
Obviously out of warranty
But have had differing miles
Lowest 38k highest 149k
All have decent service history
And not old dogs
Asking about there renowned for it
Had a few which have spun the big ends too
Obviously can be rebuilt but for me I would stay well. Lear
Feel free to share with anyone else
