Long term 30D owners issues?

Hi 30d Owner’s.

Any issues you have experienced with the engine, lots of N20 and N55 but not much on the 30d engine.

Any comments and mileage would be appreciated.

I am a low mileage user in the UK. Not much use to you I am afraid. Never ever had an issue with this engine. It is considered by anyone who has had it for a long time to be bullet proof. I also had the slightly earlier version than what is now in the X3. It was in an E90 325d M Sport. It never missed a beat.

Great to hear, I presume the 20d has similar less issues

I’ve got 2013 X3 30D and have done 55k km with zero engine issues. Love this engine.

Done 39k on mine. Only issue I had was EGR valve that was throwing up a drivetrain error. It was replaced whilst in for a service and was out of warranty so cost me £230 all in at a main dealer.

Mind sharing what are the symptoms of failing EGR valve?
