Sounds a decent reason to be scared.

It's a breather pipe on the turbo that makes them go pop, once that's done they're fine, them and vw are probably the strongest diesel motors going, me wanty

Try a 330d in your shape, they fairly poky and a few kicking about. I'd like one but it would be thirty as buggery on my commute

Problem with bwm diesels is they hold there money well and people want stupid money for one at 150k. I been after a 150 320d for a while

ya i saw lots of rubbish when shopping for mine for about the 9k mark about 18 months ago the clean low milage ones (which is what i wanted) command good money.

£8300 quid it was mate. Luckily BMW eventually paid 80% parts and 100% labour after being threatened by a mate in the motoring press. Common known fault? Oh, yes!
