Going to look at a 320i Ôš'89 cabrio this weekend. 165,000 km, beige leather, plus BMW hardtop etc. Car has a LPG system fitted 2000.

Owner has changed in 5 years of ownership:

Cam belt
oil pump
viscose fan
wheel bearings (right hand side)
At 130,000km Ԛ—a changed all pistons, rings and bushings

Should I be worried about all those parts and pistons being changed or is this actually a good thing. Own a 320i cabrio now so no the carÔš's quite well but fuel costs and so high I am looking for a LPG one.

Owner is looking for Ԛ┚¬2500 (Ԛ£1800), is it worth that?

Cheers!

Will try and post the pics...

Anyone have any advice on what to look out for problems wise with the LPG system as never driven a car with it before.

Also any worries to be had over engine make-over?
