Do you need anything more than a 320d?

It seems that timing chain problems are less common on the F30 model to date, be that N47 or its replacement.

I hope so!!

Buying a car which has had regular oil changes would appear to be the answer, if you can find one.

I bought my F30 320d without knowing about the timing chain issue (god knows how I missed that when I was researching them?!) I bought mine at 27k, the longest distance between oil change is 13k, all others are at 9-10k. Fingers crossed mine will be ok.

Depend on what year your F30 was registered you may have this issue. It also may have been recalled for this issue anyway. Oil service is not proven to cause this issue, you may have problems with a perfectly serviced car.
