M52 Common problems

[hatchbackkid82]

Can anyone tell me of any common issues or weak points with the M52 engine? I'm thinking about picking up an E30 with an M52 swap in a few weeks.

I've heard that headers with this swap are an issues as well. I'm completely new to BMW's so any help is greatly appreciated

Bump, anyone?

In my case, the only problem so far is a leaking oil filter housing which I have resealed twice and will likely have to replace. Otherwise, it's been a solid motor.
