Make sure the high beam fluid is not leaking. Can be a real pain in the ass otherwise.
















































j/k no check the rear shock mounts every E30 I have looked at they have been stuffed.

make sure odometer works, claimed x # of miles can be much different than actual x # miles.

Read over this. I printed it and took it with me when I looked at mine aswell as other issues I found from this site.

One thing that didn't include is to check under the car, directly in front of the door. There is a square there that has a high tendency to rust out. I've also looked at cars that people thought it was a jack point, when it most certainly is not.

Rust by windshield is a very, very bad thing too.

Other than that, it's pretty solid.
