So i've been searching for a good deal on a E30 Design Edition wagon, which i found 6 hours away. It's a Mauritiusblue 316i wagon from 1993. Decent price and most stuff i wanted to do already done in the last 1 1/2 years, still registrated and been driven lately. 2 previous owners, including the current guy who did following things:
I already talked with the owner and now im going to get it, but im worried it might brake down on the middle of the autobahn
Well he assured me i would easily make the way bay home with it and he drove it almost daily since it's been fixed half a year ago. Car has now 260k on it, the new engine around 100k (km)
I've seen pictures of it from all sides, from underneath and know where it's rusty (wheel arches and bootlid) but it seems to be in really good condition after all, not leaking or rusted trough.
What tools should i bring with me?
I thought about bringing a 10mm and 13mm with me, or a pipewrench. some zip ties, some wd40 and ductape.
Any suggestions on what to take care of before hitting the autobahn?
Maybe i will buy a new set on tires before starting the roadtrip, depends on how old and worn the tires are.
- Completly reconditioned seats with original fabric from BMW,
- Everything inside refurbished or replaced

- changed the Lambda sensors
