What to look for?

[SonOfAnarchy ZA]

When looking for a e90 manual 320d are there any year models I must stay away from? any known problems I must look out for?

Check my facts...
but you might want from 2008 with the power increase. That's something to think about. 115-130kw I think.

LCI is 135kW. From 2009 to 2011 I think. I'm told the timing chain can be an issue, as apparently the N47 motor has an issue with it as stated on international forums. It appears there's no one locally with this issue.

Good luck, I'm getting my E90 320d this week as well!
