Thinking of changing my car and have seen a 2014 BMW 3 series GT 318d at a local car supermarket that I quite liked the look of. 50k miles.
Just had a quick look today and was thinking of going back tomorrow. Bodywork is good, interior leather is a bit tired but would smarten up.
Never had a diesel so wondered what the real life mpg might be. Average 62 mpg is claimed. Also, timing chain. Should be every 9 years or 90k miles, I think. So whichever comes first? Guessing it hasn't been done but will find out obviously. It looks to be £1k to do at an independent specialist. Would it be best to do asap on a 50k 2014 car?
Anybody got one? Cost is £10k. Not cheap but it has quite a lot of factory extras and looks in very good nick. Long mot, no advisories, had brake discs and pads replaced by the looks of the dvla records.
