    No recommendations from me but whatever you go for make sure it has a full, documented service history with regular annual oil changes. The N47 engine in the 320d is a good economical engine if maintained regularly. Otherwise forget about it and don't touch one without a good service history.

    Timing chain, timing chain, timing chain.

    If you're buying one make sure it's got service history and ideally the oil should have been changed at least every 15,000-20,000 km (despite BMW's claims that they can do up to 30,000 km on the same oil).
