120d Coupe am I mad?

Am I mad to be considering one of these with the diesel engine?
€2k for a bit of preventative maintenance is a bit much isn't it?

I like the look of them but I need a diesel, should I just be considering something else?

120d or 123d would be even better.They are great little car,get it you wont regret it.I love them too,in white and slammed please :)

Had a 123d coupe, just awesome.....

Gets my vote all day long :cool:

I'm just worried that I'd have to spend €2k to sort out the timing chain problem, kind of leaning towards a e92 330d instead.

My chain broke this year in my 2008 320d so the e92 330d gets my vote! Stay away from the crap n47 engine

Buy one with a full BMW history and a warranty or buy a BMW insured warranty for it.
