Hello everyone I want to buy an F40-body BMW, but when I searched online for whether it has chronic problems and what they are, I couldn't find results. I have a budget of about 1.9M. I can't decide whether to buy a 116d or a 118i. I really like the car's looks. It'll be my first car. Since technology is one of my priorities when buying a car, I'm looking at the Executive package. When I researched by engine codes I couldn't get very good results, because the B47 and B48 engines in this body came as a new generation. I'd be very glad if friends who drive or know this car could enlighten me.

I've been using it for about 2 years. My car is at 100k km, I haven't had any problems. Only the start-stop is a bit jerky.
Translated from Turkish@mehmet87 mate, what are the mechanical things I should watch out for? Is there a chronic problem with this car's engine? Second-hand, what should I watch out for? If you have the time to write it up I'd really appreciate it.
Translated from TurkishMate, as far as I know the 1.5 diesel and petrol 3-cylinders have turbo issues; on the diesel, the fuel filter also causes problems, I think
Translated from TurkishI'm thinking of buying one too - if anyone's driven one, is it worth switching from a Golf 7.5? Also I'm torn between the F40, the 320ied, and the 318i - if anyone's driven these, which would you recommend
