Hi everyone,

I was going to lease a new 118i but have decided instead to look at buying one that's 2-3 years old - (ideally 2 so it's still within warranty)

There's plenty around that look to be ex lease/fleet cars, Mike Brewer looks to have a few nice ones for example. Are these newer ones any better than the older ones i.e is the Timing Chain issue less likely to occur?

Also, which versions get the runflats which are supposed to give the horrible ride? Is it just the M Sport versions? If so sounds like Sport would be better than M Sport?

Thanks in advance.
