    1989 E30 325i

    Going to look at a 1989 E30 325i with 172k on it. The guy wants $3,000... Just wondering what I should be looking for when I look at it good/bad?

        This is pretty much everything you need to know.

        Do us all a favor and use Google next time.

        Make sure the timing belt has been replaced within the last four years or 60,000 miles.
