    wanting back in...

    so i havent had an e30 for a little, and just rockin it here with my 6er. but i saw a nice little vert at a lot for 1500. pulled in and asked their mechanic whats the problem, and this is what he said:

    it started before- thats how he got it there

    the timing chain rattles until you give it gas up to 3000 rpm, then it stops and goes away.

    other then that the car is beautiful, and really want it. but the rattling timing chain worries me. i know timing components can be pricey from the stealership. so what do you think i should do.?

    OH, and heres the kicker. my wife doesnt want me to have two cars around, so i would have to sell the 6er. both cars are worth keeping, and i would really like to have a little vert, especially if its a late model m42 powered cabby.

          You should totally pick it up. Sometimes you gotta pay to play, in this case I think a late model m42 'vert would be perfect... Summers just around the corner.
