Buying a high mileage BMW 330d - what to look out for?

NickXX · 2 Feb 2006 at 21:48

Hi all,

I'm going to look at E46 330d Saloons on Saturday and would just like to know if there are any common issues at high miles. It will likely be at 70k up to a maximum of 100k miles. I'm looking to spend about £12,000.

Does anyone have any tips on what to look/look out for?

Many thanks in advance,

Nick

Yeah, but the issue is: BMW + Problem = Pricey. I'm a bit worried due to scare stories about broken fuel injectors/duff Turbos at the 120k mark.

Thanks guys, I've picked up some great points. I'm just worried that my £12k isn't going to buy me years of trouble free motoring...
