    Great family wagon for someone. Out of interest is that engine prone to timing chain issues as well or is that the Diesel only?

    No, this has the N46 engine, so the timing chain is where it ought to be and wasn’t a problem. These were more prone to oil leaks from just about most gaskets (all done over time on this one), CCV (done), etc. I think they also encountered a few valvetronic problems, although none with this car.
