Hi all
Long time lurker first time poster
I have owned a couple of BMWs and had good experiences, I currently have 2007 e92 in Scotland which I unfortunately can not import to the states so I am shopping around here
I am looking at this car
https://www.earlstewarttoyota.com/in...rader_listings
I test drove it and it was seemingly well taken care of, tight with no noticeable whines or rattles.
I am aware of the timing chain issues that seemingly plagued these cars but this has a build date of 05/16 which i understand is after the updates of early 2015
I am not looking for a particular answer to anything more so some opinions.
I've had a hard time finding information about people having issues with the later n26s, I have not seen to many as they all seem to be earlier.
The carfax shows no service between 39k and 74k which is a little concerning but it is possible they went to an independent that did not record it.
The garage has ok'd me to take it to

for an inspection which will run me $480+tax
My questions are
Would this garage be able to get in there enough on an inspection to get an impression of the health of the car?
Any thoughts at all on it, are they all going to explode eventually, would you buy it?
Thank you in advance
