Just gone to see a 55 reg 3 series 318d with 140k on the clock pretty much fsh as its been serviced yearly but pretty much every 20k

Seems to drive nice full mot ( if it's been done legit)

Question is .. Is there anything I need to be looking out for?

Is it chain driven or belt? I know certain ones had bad chains?

It's up for 3750 but chap said he would take 3300 as it needs a service and brake pads needs changing and also tyre sensor is on the dash as the guy changed wheels over to m sport

Any help much appreciated

They are all Cam chains as far as I know. The problems experienced in the 3 Series were with the E90 series N47 Engines.

As with any car just look for the usual things. Check there are no knocking noises coming from suspension and steering. Check for leakes etc. Pretty solid car otherwise.

They should never need replacing. Provided its had regular oil changes it should be fine. Far better than any belt driven engine.
