Hi all, just joined and I can tell you this... I have a 2002 320d facelift, 170k owned it 4 yrs, bought it with 142k and it has had.....EGR valve replaced in yr2, clutch, bottom arms and ball joints in yr3, and 2 months ago it swallowed a swirl flap which luckily for me only damaged 4 valves. This swirl flap failure, after doing some research I found is a common and well known fault with these cars and usually is very expensive, often resulting in full engine rebuild, pistons, valves minimum, and in some cases turbo. Regular service 3-4k miles is recommended? Hope this helps.
