Cracked up to be?

I am lucky enough to be buying a used 2007 BMW 330d convertible auto. Do you know of any faults with this model or should I be looking at other engine sizes within the range. Are there any problems with the electric folding hard-top, and what are the reports about BMW wheels cracking?

Go for the smallest wheels (17") with the deepest profile tyres. 19" wheels on a 3-Series wreck tyres and smash their rims (as well
as your back) and have you off the road at the first flurry or snow or ice.
