its the water pump thats dead you can wiggle it off the pully by the viscous! seems fine and drives nice! although didnt get far and had to have it recoverd as it went over half way hope the seller is genuine and the head hasnt gone! anyway well worth the cash the seats are electric memory with 3 settings! very tidy car! just hope its not been cooked before i got it, but i have heard m50 engines can take a little bit of it, theres no gunk on dipstick so fingers crossed!

erm.. I seriously doubt that, considering the vanos is designed to boost midrange/low end and vanos lumps have milder cams as a result!

Spot on dan. Vanos is far superior. And reliable to on the M50's.

Your getting robbed! I hope you wash your scrap with the 22 buckets method before weighing
Who said E30's with wet carpets were worth less? winkeye

Alas I haven't had a 4 door or an overheating E34 to throw on the scales for a while so I just guessed the current price per ton.

What are 'bombed' up turds making these days Dan ? I might need to start looking in the bushes ! :)
