From E90 to a used X3 or X5

As the family is growing, want to move to a 2013 X3 or X5.

With my E90 I have replaced most of the rubber gaskets, have also replaced the alternator, waterpump and thermostat. What kind of things should I look out for in a used X3 or X5 and what kind of repairs are common?

Stay away from the '12/'13 X3 (28i) with the N20 unless the timing chain tensioner has been replaced with the updated one from 2015. We had an engine grenade with no help from BMW.

Was the tensioner redesigned in 2014 or 2015, I heard the same issue about the N20
