E30 Zone

Hi fellas, i had a great response to my last thread. A lot of really helpful info much appreachated.

Anyway i want to buy a 325 sport in the next few months and unfortunately for me i don't know dick about mechanics.

Is there a guide for buyinga 325 sport?? are there things i must check before i buy??? What sort of things can go wrong with them??

And i think i read here that 325's have a problem with the head cracking easily?? (sorry don't know what a head is or even if a car has one)

Any ideas?

if i was you id definately get a mechanic to go with me to view any motor, if you dont know what your looking at to start with, its bound to end in tears

one of my close friends has a degree in engineering and know cars well, but i don't think he's worked on a 325 sport, just wondered if there is anything major i need to be aware of?

nothing out of the ordinary on the e30 i dont think, just the same sort of things as youd check when buying any car ,white sludge on the oil cap=head gasket failure... etc

take a deep breath and smell the boot, rear clusters are prone to leakage.

carpets, if theyԚ´re wet thats atleast #00 off the price,
