Buying Tips for the 2018–2019 BMW 3 Series (F30/F31/F34)

  • Pre-2015 320i/328i cars need careful listening for N20 timing-chain whine and proof of guide work
  • Check the steering, front wishbones, and tyres on rough roads - these cars hide wear badly until they are on UK B-roads
  • Insist on completed diesel EGR recall evidence, especially on 318d, 320d, and 330d variants
  • Touring models should have a dry boot and a smooth electric tailgate with no latch hesitation
