Advice on choosing a 320d

Good day all

As a prospective BMW owner I need some advice on what to go looking for in a 320d. I have sort of made up my mind that I want a 320d A/T, 2007 or later model.

A 2007 or 2008 model car is probably already out of the service plan, and I am very keen on continuing to service all my vehicles myself.

What do you guys suggest I look for in terms of odometer readings.

Obviously lower is better, but for example:
A vehicle with<100 000km is much more expensive that one over the threshold. If one does a throrough check to ensure all the replacements due on 100K was done, does it really make much sense to pay way more for something that is below the 100K mark?

Where should I buy a vehicle with 100k on the clock: Private sale, trader or BMW dealer?

Any advice would be appreciated

Buy from a BMW dealer if there is still MP left.
Or take a chance, save a couple of thousand on the price by buying on Gum or somewhere else. Should something go wrong you have a money piggy for a rainy day, e.g.:
Carfind:
2008 Exclusive, R154 900,122 000km, 2008

Hope you get the right one.
Check the vibration damper pulley - only reall issue I know of on the 320d e90.
You might consider a space saver spare - these have runflat tyres.
