The faults with the highest risk: M32 6-speed manual gearbox bearings (6-speed only) (100,000–220,000 km, €700–1,800); swirl flaps / intake manifold (100,000–180,000 km, €400–900); swirl flaps / intake manifold (16v) (100,000–180,000 km, €250–700); EGR / DPF (120,000–200,000 km, €300–1,500). The full list by engine is on this page.
Before you buy, ask an authorised dealer to check by VIN whether the car has any open recalls. If the engine has a timing belt, ask for the invoice for its replacement: with no proof, assume it has not been done. On the test drive, watch for these signs: whine or growl in 5th / 6th gear and off throttle, gear lever vibrates or jumps out of gear; flap failure, engine light. The full checklist is in the guide to buying a used car.
These models share engines with this car, so they share some of its faults too.
