Combat Theory posted:The problem is that the valvetronic mechanism is not wear compensated for the excenter shaft. Which engines used in BMW 1 & 3-series or Audi A3 & A4 from within, say, the last ten years would you say are worth considering? I recently got a 2009 E90 with an N47 engine, which very quickly developed a timing chain rattle. Having bought it from a dealer I was lucky to not have to pay the replacement myself. I really like all other aspects of the car and had planned on keeping it for at least the next 300 000 km figuring, that another 2000€ chain replacement somewhere down the line is a relatively small price to pay. According to random internet forums every BMW and VAG engine, except maybe M47 and BFB, is a ticking time bomb, and the N47 issues still seem relatively benign compared to some other horror stories. But maybe I'm just an idiot trying to defend a bad purchase for myself?

Combat Theory posted:All BMW N engines are just different levels of Bad. It sounds harsh but it is the truth. They jinxed their petrol engines with valvetronic and direct injection and they murdered their diesels by cheaping out on the timing chain and INSTALLING THE loving ENGINE BACKWARDS JESUS gently caress WHY DID YOU DO THIS. Yeah, I'll probably start looking for a pre-LCI 325 or 330xd at some point. At least replacing the chain raises the trade-in value of the 320d. Thank you, I really appreciate your effort. And at least this car has doors that can be opened in case of an accident.
