AI Market Summary

**Strong petrol efficiency and handling** — 2 Series delivers respectable fuel economy and engaging dynamics; popular choice for Irish commuters seeking compact, nimble performance.
**30% price surge signals tight supply** — solid demand pushing values up; however, at median asking expect to negotiate given 11 active listings and 30-day sell timeframe.
**Turbocharger wastegate failures common on 118i petrol; timing chain tensioner wear also reported.** Listen for cold-start rattle and get pre-purchase engine diagnostic (€80–120) before committing.
**Check service history meticulously** — confirm turbo and timing chain work completed (or plan €1,000+ remedial spend); inspect for gearbox shudder during test drive in stop-start traffic.
**NI import saves €3,603 before VRT** — after VRT and registration levy, real saving typically €1,500–2,000; worth exploring if sourcing south of border proves tight.
