Bmw 530d 1999 - 2001

heywood100 · 2006-09-05 09:01:08

Good day folks. I am looking to buy a 3 to 5 year old 530d. What should I look out for? IS there a buyers guide online anywhere? Is the engine using a timing belt or chain? Appreciate any advice and am happy to give advice on cars that I know quite a bit about like W126 and W140 S Class Mercedes Thanks in advance.
