Backstory, I bought a 328i for $18k with 68k miles. 7 days later the oil pressure light came on, dealer says it's a sensor, I'm worried it's the timing chain issue. It also needs tires, shocks and I bought the bimmertech Apple CarPlay/backup camera kit. So that brings the worst-case total to around $25k.
I found a 2017 M240i with comparable miles for $32k….is it just buyers remorse that I feel like I might be better off long term with this car?
It looks like I can back out of the 328i sale
IF it is the timing chain. If not, then I can't, and I'm stuck with what feels like a ticking time bomb of an engine.

I have a 2016 235i with 50k miles, not a single issue. I have a buddy with a 2015 with 90k miles and no issues. They are great vehicles if you take care of them. I do all my own maintenance so the cost is comparable to a Honda Civic lol. Also have a 2018 X3 M40i with the B58 motor, great motor.
In my opinion, the 240i you will have much more fun with and I feel that they are reliable. Just my 2 cents!
