Thanks luke
DPF and clutch are the weak points. See if there is evidence that these have been changed (or are OK) especially with a car that's getting on a bit.L400jjw said:Thankyou for reply yes 8th gen I belive 59plate I am currently looking at.

Tell him the truth Jon, and advise he stays with his BMW, if not capable of making his own decision.Jon_G said:DPF and clutch are the weak points. See if there is evidence that these have been changed (or are OK) especially with a car that's getting on a bit.
Personally I'm not sure of the logic of buying an 'underpowered' car that needed a remap to give it the power that you really want... simply find yourself a more powerful car to start with! There is a 180 PS/BHP diesel version of these (which has a stronger clutch, amongst other things) but it's pretty rare.
