A friend of mine is planning on looking at this car

Is there anything to watch out for on this model?

Any help would be appreciated, my knowledge ends at e36!

The front and rear dogs are an interesting option...

Timing chain, DPF & turbo are the main points, I'm sure someone much more knowledgeable will correct me if necessary.

No timing chain worries on the 3.0 litre M57 engine
