BMW 1 Series - Difference between 2009 and 2010 118D - Ash_Davis123

I'm looking for a BMW 1 series 118D with about 50,000 miles. I have been at 2010 models but have noticed some very reasonable 2009 models on the market.

Im aware of the timing chain issue which affected them up to 2009 but am I okay if I look at a model made in 2009 after the issue was fixed? how do i know if its a 08/09 model or 09/10 model.. does the reg change?

or should I just stick with at least the 2010 models?

You asked this exact same question earlier this week using slightly different words.

Why ask again?

Were the answers myself and RobJP gave not good enough.

If that is the case I suggest you ask on a BMW forum. You might get better answers there and avoid wasting space on this forum.
