Had an E93 320D M-Sport.
It was the worst car in the world. Engine shat itself at c.125,000km. Roof mechanism shat itself. Ate tyres. Gearbox shat itself.
Every tow truck that ever collected it was met with "4-cyl diesels are all the same these days and they're all shit, it's all we recover anymore"...
Long story short just buy a really well maintained older 6-cyl...
Edit: Just noticed you're after a petrol, can't comment on them.
Avoid 4 cyl diesels, and not to keen on 4 cyl petrols also shredding timing chains, go for six cylinder all day long petrol or diesel. Except magnesium block N52 engine they are a pile of rubbish too :)
