E60 520D as a taxi?

[D1on]

Always loved the e60!,
Now I'm driving private hire and doing more town miles and motorway its came time to upgrade my car!
Seen very nice 2007-2009 520d's for sale around the £6000 mark However stories of timing chain failures are putting me off...

Are these reliable and could cope well with the miles?...

No. 2.0l is N47, very bad. Try a 3.0l M57. My M57 has done 247k miles (E46).

If you must have a 2.0 try an M47.
