You'll hear it if they are on the way out. Approved used would have a full warranty anyway.

As far as I know it's 2007-2009 for the 118d's, with the N47 / N47D20A engines.

My brother's 318d had the belt snap last year. £3K engine rebuild with an independent specialist.... Nearer £5K with BMW "goodwill".

It's a problem on the F2x cars too. Stop/start to blame.

Stuff it

I cant put 12+k into a premium brand with that hanging over my head

Once the warranty expires ime either on my own or £500 a year to extend

Back on autotrader i go
