Looking at a F30 330d, usual engine advise

[PT1984]

Hi all,

I’m going to look at an early 2015 330d M Sport trim. Dealer has confirmed N57N, which I believe denotes the high power output? And full BMWSH, which doesn’t mean a lot these days as it’s ever 2 years or 18k. It’s on 46k.

MOT’s look good. They advise a straight car. Strangely no NAV, which I thought was standard at this age? Options are privacy glass which I want for the dog, and cruise.

So what do I need to look for or be prepared for with the N57T? Servicing will be given an interim oil and filter on top of the normal schedule. It’s an auto so I know the BMW sealed for life statement is a lie. I will go with ZF and get it done at 60k.

Personally I would check if it is EU6, it may well only be EU5 emission level. More and more city centres are charging/banning anything less than EU6 diesels.

Hmm. Euro 5. Current V40 D4 is Euro 6.
