you guys may recall me asking for advice on a 97 540i that my brother wanted to buy. well he is asking me to "ask those smart BMW people on that website" if his recent find is a good one.
the contender is a 1993 325is, 5speed, 2dr alpineW II.
i wont bother posting the CL ad cause its pretty empty it has 163xxx miles. i drove it today and it felt good, body is clean (florida car)interior is 6/10 has a short shifter installed (for w/e thats worth). asking price is $3200. i know the earlier e36 have more problems or atleast thats what ive heard. heres what i want to know...
1. hows the price?
2. any common problems (i.e. timming belt for m20)
3. are the expensive/high maintenece.
4. how can i tell if the m50 has VANOS?
5. any other useful info or things i should look out for?
i wish i could be more help to my brother myself but i spent a very long time getting to know e30's, and only e30's. i can't imagine spending the same time learning about the e36's etc., so im asking R3V to help me out again. thanks
