    Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.

    The car has the N47 engine which had chain issues but BMW claimed they were fixed by 2009 and only risk was of a noisy chain. Some people did have problems with later cars though. The B47 series new design came in about May-ish 2014 depending on model. I have had several N47 with no chain problems - the main issue is public perception of risk.

    sadly the chain on my 2010 320D touring let go, was very tempted to have it fixed but the car was just a bit too small anyway. That said with 12000 mile oil changes it made it to 187000 miles despite a BMW remap. It was a cracking all rounder though. Had a new 330e touring as a hire car recently. Very nice, very competent, much bigger but has lost something.

I’ve owned it for a couple of years now and have put a huge amount of mileage on it, oil is changed every 8000km/ 5k miles and my car couldn’t be healthier. They’re great cars if you mind them. A lot of people neglect their cars and then whinge when they break down which just creates bad perceptions.

    So expensive to maintain even an "economy" car these days. I understand why maintenance seems to be passed on. Its far too expensive. The older I get the more unimpressed I am with cars from the ownership perspective. They are all basically luxury car items with how expensive they are vs the real wages we make. I understand why so many people are going anti car as the days pass. They have lost touch. But then again people keep buying them and struggle to maintain and keep payments.

    Matt I am on my 2nd version of this engine. That car is fitted with the N47 diesel engine which is notorious for dropping its timing chain . It was replaced in 2015 with a modified B47 engine. At 127000 it should have been done.The wheels on this car are Not SE spec alloys. It''s a base spec model with cloth seats and thankfully has the optional auto box . On the plus side they can rack up the miles . I have one opposite me same year , colour and its clocked up 187000 miles.
