No - you should get a half decent one for that. Engine's are pretty reliable - just missing a couple of cylinders

Some information on the engine in an IS from one of the stalwarts of the zone! (just becuase it makes me chuckle everytime I read it)
The M42 is forged on the thighs of a thousand virgins, of shavings from the gates of Hades. Zeus himself is responsible for the design, which its self is the result of Venus and Saturn having interplanetary sex. Many m42s were melted down and used by Saddam Hussein as WMD's. Indeed the Ark of The Covenant, which brought down the walls of Jericho, contained an M42. The Challenger shuttle was the only shuttle not to be powered by the m42, we all know how that ended. The magnetic wobble, experienced by Earth every few centuries is the result of some halfwit stalling a 318is. The 318is is galvanised with the skin of Jesus himself, making it impervious to friction, wind resistance and aerodynamic drag. When Jesus walked on water, he was actually driving a 318is.
There. The concise history of all things m42.

a guy who has spent over 40 years working on BMW's once said to me that the 318is "is a good car if you can keep an engine in it" that sums them up really If you have a grand to spend buy a 325.
