The diagnostic equipment on these cars is too primitive to get any meaningful data out of and can throw false readings all the time (newer cars are much worse in the latter issue though). IMO on something this old its better to judge the condition of the parts by looking and listening to things. If its making an unusual noise or looks super worn/leaky, fix it.1986 325e Schwarz (sold)

Exactly. Once the timing belt and water pump is done you're basically good on the motor side of things as long as the valves are adjusted. He was doing the valve cover gasket so Im sure he added a valve adjustment too. New CABs, New Struts/ Shocks. New exhaust. Pretty good deal and what a transformation when hes doneSimon

Regardless, 2k is a steal. The reason why he's paying so little, is probably because he has a deal with the owner to continuously bring him business (old hoopties).Last edited by Stanley Rockafella; 12-07-2020, 01:41 PM.If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

Staszek that is too funny! He posted a video regarding the C&B sale on his second channel, Little Hoovies. I emailed him on it before he announced the potential sale, and he mentioned having $11-12K into it after the repairs, so he was hoping to get that back out of it.
