S210 320cdi Avantgarde
Having sold my S210 320 cdi, I decided to stay with German but newer and BMW. Found an 08 520d touring. High mileage (170,000) but history and timing chain done.
In the 2 months I've had it it has had to have:
EGR valve
DPF
Inlet manifold (cracked)
Fault with ABS/ traction control.
Now it has decided it doesn't like injector no 1 and has possibly damaged a valve and or a piston!
Wish I'd kept the 210!

You can be unlucky with any car you buy - it's a lottery as there is a certain amount of luck.

That's the "joy" of cars sometimes.
