    1987 320i Timing, could be off?

    Hey guys

    Just bought this e30. I haven't driven it yet but my dad has and he reckons there's a chance the timing could be off.

    He sent me this picture:


    And this video of the car running:


    He wonders if the timing is right and says when pulling in 4th at low rpms it makes a ticking noise. Here's an audio recording, it occurs at 1:17, 2:17, 2:21, 2:35, 2:42, 3:18, and 3:22:



    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Its not that hard to check that...
    That rattle noise, i had it too, but did not figure out what it was... after i removed turbo it went away so...I am interested as well to find out what it is...
