I wll be doing some viewings to get an idea whats out there in terms of 2.0 litre bmw diesel saloons, im steering towards an early f10 or 320d but my main concern is how will i know what the timing chain situation is? i dont really know what to hear when the engine is running or what to look For as i have never been a diesel owner, I know my local indy mechanic does timing chains and replaces engine a ta serious rate so the issue is really there and i pity the people who purchase and get this bad luck
if i do i see a car i like and call BMW with the chassis number would they know if the chain was replaced? thanks
