Hello,
On Saturday I will pick up my new ride, E34 530i Touring with an manual gearbox from 1995. I know the front suspension can be a problem on the E34 like the the once I have had on my E32, but are there more issues to look for before I hand over the cash for the car?
The engine is M60B30 ( V8 ) so what is the commond issues on those engines?

Nice looking car. Rare colour for an E34 (Morea Green?). The 3 litres are more robust that the 4 litre engines and don't seem to suffer from as many head gaskets. Cam cover oil leaks are known to happen where oil will leak into the plug wells, buggering the coil packs.
UK ones have the nikasil drama to contend with. Don't know if this affected yours as well.
