Hi guys,
i finally decided to get into bmw classics and pull the trigger on e30 vert
i found a nice example, black on red with 180,000 miles for asking price is $4k
outside is very well maintained, inside a bit worm but seats are in good condition. here are the list of BAD's
need your opinion
i looked at one car over the weekend and it has few issues:
1. Clutch pedal does not have any back pressure so is just lingers. (owner will repair, couldn't drive the car)
2. Driver lock is sideways and jammed (owner also said he is in the process of repairing)
3. torn drivers seat
4. really rusty headers
5. foggy rear window (is it possible to clean it or must be replaced?)
6. Cracked interior headlight
7. not functioning tachometer (owner said he will repair)
do you know what is the cost of the repair of these things
thanks a lot
Also, any general guidelines and things to watch out for would be greately appreciated.
from reading this forum here is what i have so far:
1. timing belt squeaking
2. water pump replacement with timing belt every 30k
3. tune up (done recently on the car mentioned above)
4. throttle body leaks
5. crank position sensor
6. odometer functionality
7. intake hose leaks
