Hi and welcome!

Lots of good help and advice on here and on the internet. Buy on condition and not age. Unless you don’t mind lots of work, get one with a good chassis and bulkhead as these are expensive to replace. Diesel is okay but if you’re getting a Series 3 as a second vehicle, a petrol engine is better and has more power. The diesel is very slow and the fuel economy is not much better than the petrol one.

Chassis condition and bulkhead condition. Bear in mind there's also the potential for quite a lot of years of bodging on the electrical side anorl:D
Tax free and not exempt for many though.
What's your budget?
