Hi all,
Newb here just looking for some advice. I'm going to do my final inspections and pick up a 2013 P30 320D XDrive later this week. I was wondering if you guys could help me out with things I should look for / ask? Its done 60k, has a full BMW service history, transfer unit replaced (I noticed juddering while accelerating during test drive) and new tires. It'll come with a 1 year BMW warranty as well. Thank you in advance for any guidance. Joe Last edited by JOEMAG85; 03-11-2019 at 03:57 PM.. Reason: Add Picture |

Transfer case for the diesels is your main concern, but looks like that was taken care of, i'd just make sure it has a clean service history, maybe get a PPI.
Some other weak points are the nox sensors, SCR system sometimes has problems, and high pressure fuel pumps, but not really anything to worry about if you maintain it. |

check for any gasket oil leaks, BMW will say a small leak is normal, its not. valve cover, oil filter housing and oil pan gaskets all prone to start leaking at that mileage. I would do a 3rd party detailed inspection when the warranty is 2 months away from expiring. Unless you work on the car yourself like many of us. Reliability should be your top concern. The car looks awesome by the way.
