Well with it being an Lci model I wouldn’t worry about the chain as the later ones have either A:Been replaced and or came with the upgrades needed.
B: I’m quite sure that the later ones didn’t snap any way unless it had mega miles on it.
But if you don’t do lots of miles I wouldn’t even consider a 2ltr diesel. I had a 118d for 4 years and it was great when I comuted every day, but when I changed job and now have a 8 mile a day round trip I have a 330i.
And do you think I notice the difference in fuel .... Nope I don’t, my 118d was terrible on fuel on the short trips.
And with diesels being blamed for being dirty once again, I personally would think twice before buying another one myself.
