I know all the early ones suffered with it but on what year did they sort it out? I think it 2002/2003 but cant be sure
any help or other things to look for would be great!

The best car i have owned so far!!, get a 03 onwards to miss out the bottom end recalls etc, with a 53 onwards you will get the led rear light upgrade and if you have satnav, will be dvd based.
Try and get one with BMW Warranty, and make sure it has had its 1200 mile running in service, as this will invalidate the warrenty if it has not been done.
