07 bmw 316i

My sister is looking at a 316i bmw. She has no need for a diesel and power is of no relevance to her so although it's not the engine anyone would pick, it suits her. It appears they are a chain driven engine. Are they troublesome in terms of chain issues? It seems from research that there was an n43 and n45 around that…

My sister is looking at a 316i bmw.

It appears they are a chain driven engine. Are they troublesome in terms of chain issues?
It seems from research that there was an n43 and n45 around that time. Any opinion here on best one?
Also I'm aware that alot of the petrol bmws around 07 / 08 had trouble with coil packs and general poor running. Did the 1.6 suffer from these issues?
Finally, was the fault with the traction control still an issue on the e90 on 07 built cars? I guess at this stage if there is no fault, it has likely been replaced?
