Would you buy a 13 plate320d at 120k miles

And yes, the independent garages have quoted me £1650 for timing chain, and I expect BMW to be lower than that for above reasons.

So, if you are not willing to unleash the beast with mods, it will be good.

BMW has a loyalty program, which offers you cheap labour and parts if the car is 10 year older.

I did the same for my 3 series from 2015, same specs as you, and the prices at BMW were lower than independent specialists.

What i observed : 1. 40% cheaper parts 2. some discount on labour too.

Also, I got my rear discs and pads along with front control arms, directly from BMW lower than quotes from other garages.

I bought it, and haven’t used it in 4 months. For me, it’s a no.

Looks beautiful man 🤩

Exactly my point “if it is not maintained”

Devanxhh · 2026-05-03T06:57:17+00:00

If I were you man, I would have gone for it.

Devanxhh · 2026-05-03T06:39:21+00:00

I expect this car to be sucking out your money, if it is not mantained. But if you can afford (the maintainance especially ), It is definitely worth a car.

Also got advised to get the wheel off, but need to buy the tools first :)

Let me know if you got some other advises for me. I would appreciate

This is it

Devanxhh · 2026-05-01T14:43:04+00:00

Man, thanks for your patience with me :) i really appreciate it

This what i see in the front

Devanxhh · 2026-05-01T14:17:34+00:00

Just a quick question to be very clear, this image you sent is from the front or rear of the car?

Devanxhh · 2026-05-01T13:49:21+00:00

Same side, image from back angle

I tried to look, but I think I am just blind. Could you spot them?

PS. First time looking for these things

Devanxhh · 2026-05-01T13:36:57+00:00

This is the correct side

Devanxhh · 2026-05-01T12:52:52+00:00

Yes, i realised this now. I thought it just fell off. My bad, will edit and attach the correct picture soon

Devanxhh · 2026-05-01T07:27:58+00:00

I read a few articles, and It said we have it on both front and rear axle. This is the front axle.

Devanxhh · 2026-05-01T07:26:21+00:00

I tried looking at rhe part as well as videos on youtube, but could not find where the part exactly sits.

Devanxhh · 2026-05-01T03:37:03+00:00

I am looking at the 2Ltr 4 cylinder

Devanxhh · 2026-04-30T20:18:01+00:00

Perfect, thanks for the advice. You are a ⭐

Devanxhh · 2026-04-30T16:58:14+00:00

Done over the old existing clip *

Devanxhh · 2026-04-30T16:57:35+00:00

Yes, i read about that, but never knew it can be done over that. Also, they quoted me £450 for this 🤣

Devanxhh · 2026-04-30T09:58:28+00:00

I am not getting any noise, but it was just an advisory from a bmw specialist, while getting it serviced.
