E30 Zone

So a 325i manual popped up for sale near me for £795 with just over 70k on the clocks. I've never owned an E30 before, but to me this sounds a bit cheap especially for a 325. The thing looks a bit of a shed too and obviously needs work doing but I don't want to waste my time with it if it's going to be a lost cause. So what say you? Is the price too good to be true? Pics below.

(Also apologies if I've posted in the wrong section, this is one of my first posts here! )

It's only rot that kills e30s really check all the usual places I believe there's a buyers guide pinned on the forum somewhere, if its tax & tested I think £795 isn't bad but would be nicer if it was £600 good luck

Looking at the trim and the axed rear valance, I am guessing that is a lowly four pot with a 6 pot engine 'thrown' in to it. Under bonnet pics / dealer spec check will confirm all.
320 and 325 engines look similar to the untrained eye so be careful !

That car is a 318 with a 325 engine fitted

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to look into that. Exactly how similar are they? From what I can see the key giveaway is the intake manifold?
