Transmission on a 1987 325i

[Benisreallycool]

Hey guys, first post here, looking at buying an older BMW and its either going to be an E30, or a 2002tii. I was wondering if anyone had any information on how long an automatic transmission on a 1987 325i with 106k miles would go for? I think the cars in relatively good condition, will have more info after I look at it tomorrow, looking forward to joining the club!

Should go to 200k no problem. Used E30s auto trannys are so cheap because the ones still in cars rarely break.
