they rust from the inside out!

M30 engines are bombproof man can do 300k easy, usually the gaskets on the heads so i'm told

near mint ones go for only 2k

look in exactly the same places as e30 but also check where the fire wall
meets the bulk head as they tend to crack there and once that has happened forget it. also check the pan above the rear dif they tend to rot
around there.
