2012 F30 320D

[VinnyJ]

Hi Everyone.

Anyone here that can give me some advise on an 2012 F30 320D?
Anything I should look out for? common problems, etc.

I am in the process of getting one. Finance is approved, dealership is waiting for the car to arrive.

This will be my first Diesel car, currently have the 320i

Thanks.

hmm if it is anything to go by the petrol model 320i oil pump failure on plenty 2012 models bottom end replacements galore.

If it still has plan you sorted, if not check out car na or get AA to do it if you only drive

Hmm I owned one. I don't know hey.. Maybe I had a lemon but more things went wrong on that '12 than most other models I have had thus far.. But I suppose it should have all been fixed by BMW by now? Get the history of the car from BMW..

Did you mean the 320i or 320d. I currently have the 320i and its been to the dealership more times than I can count and it will be out of MP in about 200km.

Is the oil pump failures common on the diesels or petrols?

I have owned a 320d 2013 model and had it since 10 000km and its on 70 000km now and no major issues. Love the fuel economy and torque. Tyres is a bit of a pickle for my heavy foot and seem to last me only about 50 000km
