e30 buyers guide?

[no2lurch]

i am new to here. i am on the lookout for a e30 touring either a 320 or 325, but i need some info on whats what as it were.

i am an old ford man at heart and i have had a capri, mk4 escort and now i have a zetec cnverted mk2 fiesta xr2. my mate had just bought a 130i which is very nice, but i am more of an old skool bod.

been looking into tourings for a while as i know deep down the xr2 will have to go for an estate. and i recon e30s are cool with the quad lights.

i need to know what danger areas body work wise especially, and if 320s/325s are prone to any particular problems. i have another mate who comes on here alot, but as i know him through a friend, i dont want to bombard him with questions.

any help is greatly apprciated.
