Wanting to buy a BMW Touring
Hi everyone, I’m wanting to buy a BMW Touring within the next few months. I’ve currently got a 2006 Audi A3, so it’ll be a change regardless. I’ve driven 2013 beamers, and they’re comfy. I’m looking at any from 2009-2013 and a diesel but I’m wanting some opinions on the following:
- 3 series or 5 series.
- Which engine size is more reliable
- Which engine code is the easier to fix/get parts for.
- Which engine is the more reliable.
- Anything I should completely avoid.
I’m thinking anywhere up to £5,000 or so price wise, which I think it’s fair reasonable? I know a lot of mechanics and general car people, so will be taking at least one of them with me when the time comes. So any general advice on what one to get is welcome!
