Does it have the features you want? For me, my must haves were:

Comfort Access
Xenon
Sport seats
iDrive
maybe others... too.

N20 is generally a good reliable engine. It is used in all manners of BMW model range. The timing chain guide failure is statistically minute and I wouldn't worry about it. General BMW maladies are water pump and thermostat failures. Check for signs of abuse.
Reliability is the main thing I'm asking about and how disable things are/if there are any glaring problems with the car

I personally hate idrive and I'm glad this car doesn't have it, does have heated seats and wheel which she wants, and the premium package
