Been looking at these a lot lately and would definitely consider one for my next car.
Would be hoping for an 08/09 car with lowish mileage <80k anyway, market is very slim here so would definitely have to import. Anyone on here have one?
Any known engine faults? Do they munch timing chains as well? DPF issues?
123d looks a great buy bags of power from that lump too
Heres some info on them http://www.babybmw.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=26587
Yeah loads of power, 0-60 in 6.5 secs I think, i'd say they would be rocket with a remap!Originally Posted by Gar
Looked at them myself, same chain issues, but if you can somehow "overlook" that, or set money aside for it, it's a great car! Someone on here as one was speaking to them a while back, forget the username now!
Timing chains are an issue on these too. Great car and would love one too.

That's an awful pity as they seem like a very capable machine.
It would not necessarily put me off one. Just something to be aware of.

True. But it would always be in the back of my mind. VRT is 2300 on an 08 with 50k miles.
That should come down a bit after new year.
I reckon it would cost around 13k to get one here and cleared.
Saucy enough for a 7 year old car
Simple solution is just buy and change the chain then you can just relax and enjoy it thats what i done with the e46 only a few weeks into ownership
That's another 2.5k onto the price or more, makes it too expensive imo
