talk about being worried. i did a full and complete strip down and rebuild of a 325i. with less than 50 miles on it, i drove it to WA and back. then last summer same trip.
and i do 500 mile trips all the time.
if your maintenance is done, water pump timing belt, oil, spark plugs you will be fine.
but srsly if i had the time and money i would feel confident that my e30 would make it to the Arctic Circle or Washington DC without any problems.

E30 Road Trip!!!
Hey guys! I was maybe considering taking my 1990 325i from south Florida to Tallahassee Florida. I am a little nervous if it will make it or not. Iv had the car for the past 4 years, and drove it almost every day in city traffic. I got it with (estimated 120k) so now probably over 200k+ miles on the car. The car has only left me stranded once (in my drive way) due to a bad starter. Timing belt and water pump were done 2 years ago and the rear wheel bearings were done 4 years ago. Last week I had the rear main seal, flex disks and a load of other things done on my rear end due to a vibration at high RPM. It's got a couple of small oil leaks and a stearing rack leak. And on top of all that I drove it last July to Tampa->Orlando--> West Palm. With a 3:73 open diff. Over all a 500 mile round trip without a hickup. Brand new tires as of yesterday and oil change was just done. So my question is what is yalls opinion on taking these great cars on long road trips? Do you think I will make this 750+ mile road trip or should I reconsider and take the buss. Thanks Guys let me know your input.
