Very good review, I had a few series 1 and 3s from this era. As you stated usual issues are with the engine. Make sure you regularly change the oil, DPF can be problematic as can all diesels from this era. Other than that you are getting a lot of car for your money.
Do a MPG challenge with this car, can you make it to inverness and back in just one full tank etc, maybe take to netherlands and back. Crazy how many high mileage f10s I see on autotrader and facebook seems like every other one has over 170k.
@@ArmaganDemiral well the 520D that you showed has electric power steering so no power steering pump. However, my 535i xDrive has hydraulic power steering so it has the power steering pump reservoir. Some models such as the 535i xDrive, 550i xdrive and M5 came with hydraulic power steering.
