    OH YAWN.

    What insulting and what bullying?

    You made wide sweeping generalisation comments and you're being called on it now and you play the bullying card.

    I don't think any further replies are needed.

    If you looked at the thread, intelligently, it's all there to be seen.
    I made a comment about a type of car, you and your friend responded with personal abuse. If you cannot debate then you shouldn't be contributing.

    These are not known for their reliability. Turbos, Flywheels, etc all go. I know of two 08s which have had over 2000 put into them in the last year to keep them going.

    Not feasible

    I think theres some BMW hate here. Turbo and flywheel issues are not specific to BMW, flywheels are a common failure mode on all diesels.

    An 08 BMW after a timing chain job if priced right and in otherwise good condition is not a bad option if one needs a diesel.

    Plenty flywheels failing on Toyotas and every other brand too.
    A comment mentioning flywheels as something to be wary of on a specific model is nothing short of google knowledge lazy posting.
