- Today on Mackland's Motors, we take a look into used BMW ownership, exploring the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of daily driving a car that's travelled halfway to the Moon!
Bern is still on the fleet so that's a clue ;-)
Should you own a used BMW E91 320D? Is it a money pit?
All that answered and more!

got the 2008. Bought it at 170k miles. Still going at 320k miles. Had 3 services and spent around 2k on it, bought it for 3k. Been a great car.
Thanks for that, I’m setting out in 30mins.. 2h drive to view a 07 e91 touring :)
The look of satisfaction on your face at 7:25 as you depress the starter button and look right into the camera makes me want to buy this car lol. Good review mate. I've just bought one of these. I would have preferred to see a more thoroughly sustained burnout for the intro at 0:02 though.😁
Been on the fence of getting one of these, great review mate convinced me to get one
Thanks for the video, im looking at a 2010 318d estate this evening and excited to see how it goes!
Another brilliant video!
i got same model but in M Sport, i changed my indicator lights to LED but brough silver instead of blacked out for that OEM look, defo worth the upgrade
Excellent review young man
@6:40 thanks for the review, Jordan Pickford ❤
I have a later, face-lifted E91 320D, M Sport, automatic, sunroof with the same upholstery. Mine is a 2017 car which I have had for just over 2 years now. I did like and agreed with your review, really summed this model up well. I don’t know if you still have it 2 years on - this is my eighth BMW and I think I am going to keep this one - it ticks so many boxes .
Excellent Video Lewis,another car I would add to my wish to own list.
Thanks! Want to swap for your 75? 😜🤣 My engine is the updated version to your CDTI
@@MacklandsMotors wish I had the updated version of the CDTI means cheaper road tax... So might have to swop for the cheaper tax as mine is £331 a year I beleive.
I've had EGR go, rocker cover leak, passenger occupancy sensor fail. Fan went. Obv few sensor changes and breaks needed doing. Handbrakes in them are terrible. It's a 2011 and had it nearly 2 years. Edit: and apprt from that it's been a really nice runner
Nice one Lewis
Pretty nice review. I watched this before purchasing mine. Never owned a bmw before. So ... thanks :D
watch out for timing chain issues. This engine is famous for being unreliable if you don't do the services properly
Quality video quality car!😁
i was on the fence about getting the same car, after this review i made them an offer. thanks. i cant see any difference between this and the Aussie one.
A clear owner's view of a car on my shortlist; you deserve more views. 👍 The channel name could be a dealership which might not be helping. 😱 Maybe motoring instead of motors? 🤔
Thanks!
My surname is Mackland and these are my motors so I thought it went pretty well.
I could be a dealership one day 😁🤞
Good one mate.......I have a 2014 320D M Sport no need for anything els.............
Hi mate, your review of this model bmw convinced me to buy one myself. It's a 2010 320d business class and cost me 1500 quid.
That's cheap
What mileage
How about engine reliability? 130/135 kw? Timing chain problems?
Good job
Just buy one, the only thing is the timing chain might come loose and need an engine rebuild budget a grand to fix. Or find a pre 2007/08 car with more reliable engine.
It does not need expensive premium oil. As long as its bmw longline 04. I buy mine from asda no problems so far..
How has the interior held up i am currently in buying 328i wagon with this interior tho.. i feel the color will wear faster than darker colors.
what would an estimate cost of yearly servicing
Any ulez issues?
what would be a realistic estimate for yearly maintenance costs?
All depends on your mileage. You can do a service yourself at for about £80, set aside about £100 tyre wear, road tax, insurance and mot.

Thank you !
Just bought e91 320d 177hp 2007.12 model today. Really liked how it drives and definitely smoother than older m47 163hp engine. Kinda scared about horror stories of chain failures with no signs and noises. Wondering how is that sounds and how to check if chain needs to be replaced?
Great choice! There shouldn’t be a rattle when you start it up cold
@@MacklandsMotors ok, now waiting the cold morning tomorrow hope it's quite as was today lol
A full service history (preferable BMW dealer ) will help
Can you please go over which items are beige again? ;)
ALL OF THE BEIGE! it’s marvellous
@@MacklandsMotors I just bought an e91 with the beige upholstery and it’s my least favourite of all the colours available. Light grey or saddle brown or black… I think I would even have preferred red.
@@cameroon66 Why did you buy it then?
@@MacklandsMotors it was what I wanted in every other way. Here in Canada AWD BMW touring models with manual transmissions are very rare. This one was in good shape and I can live with the torrent of beige even if it reminds me of a care home hallway.
Fair point, maybe it was a retired rally driver that ordered it new.
belt or chain for this model?
Chain for the diesel
@@MacklandsMotors thanks, didnt know that. What's about rust problems for E91? (2008 and up)
Hi how is your timing chain ?
Absolutely fine
@@MacklandsMotors good to hear I do have 320d xdrive same engine but got the chchch noise from the chain I'll need to replace it
@@madara7859 how much does it cost to replace and what’s your cars mileage currently?
@@E93v3 1600 euros 150k miles i already changed IT 2 months Ago so it lastet Up to 150k miles original chain
@@madara7859 thanks for the reply man im thinking about buying a 320d n47 but im afraid of the timing chain problems as it’s expensive to replace
Nice car but interior colour is awful. Not for me.
I like it because it light and airy, not a fan of driving an all black cave. Tbh it was the interior that drew me to that particular car
