Hi all,

thought i'd join up as am looking to hopefully get a e46 320d touring as wanting to replace my current car which is a Honda Civic Aerodeck vti, which has been a cracking car but am now needing something more economical and newer! Not completey new to the bmw scene as before the deck i owned a e30 325i! before that i had a 280bhp MR2 turbo.

been lurking on here and now am hoping to gain some knowledge and advise from you guys, like i said i'm hoping to get a 320d touring on a 51 to 54 plate, the ones i've been looking at have round about 100k to 150k, and i'll prob add 10k a year to that mileage! anything to look out for/avoid for a car with this sort of mileage?

any help and advise welcome!!

Cheers

Welcome to the club dude.

Please excuse my bluntness as I have written this a million times about the 320d on here lol

Cambelt - dont worry....its a chain.

Get the swirl flaps (search the forum) blanked of as on my old 320d they failed and cost me £1400 when i could have blanked them before for 30 notes.

Suspension Bushes will be shot at that milage unless already changed, but cheap and easy fix.

Make sure it has FSH

They are rock hard engines mate, except for the above...ignore the turbo hype too...mine had 125k on the clock and still out run 323s
