Question 1

What are the known problems of used BMW diesel engines?

Accepted Answer

The N47 four-cylinder diesel, fitted up to about 2014, is known for timing-chain wear: listen for a rattle at the back of the engine. Its B47 successor is regarded as sturdier.

Question 2

How much road tax does a used BMW pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

It follows the car's CO₂ figure and fuel: a diesel pays half as much again as a petrol BMW with the same CO₂, and a plug-in such as the 330e or 530e usually the €30 minimum. Electric BMWs pay a flat €30.

Question 3

What does xDrive mean on a used BMW?

Accepted Answer

xDrive is BMW's all-wheel drive; sDrive means two-wheel drive, rear or front depending on the model. On a used xDrive car, check for mismatched tyres, which strain the transfer case.

Question 4

Can I buy a used BMW in Luxembourg if I live in France, Belgium or Germany?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only residents listed in Luxembourg's national register can register a car there, so you register it in your own country. A used BMW from a Luxembourg dealer carries Luxembourg VAT, or none shown under the margin scheme.

Question 5

Which new BMW models are sold in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

The 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 Series, the X1, X2, X3, X5, X6 and X7, the M2, M3, M4, M5 and XM, and the electric i5, i7, iX, iX1, iX2 and iX3. Only some M3 and M4 versions keep a manual gearbox.
