In market for a 520 M Sport as the commercial has had its day Budget 8 to 12k anything to look out for with these?

Catastrophic timing chain failure seems to be the biggest issue.

Unlikely to pick one up at that budget though.

They creeped into 2007 cars too

If your lucky you might get a 2007 LCI but with the older engine (M47) for your budget!

Could be a mistake or a kitted SE! I'd be careful buying a n47 engine most of them are going to give you timing chain trouble
