1991 E34 525i - Any Good?

[Fal_325i]

Guy's have been offered a J'reg, 525i auto, with red sport leather and genuine Alpinas, what are they like and what is worth paying for one of these???, done approx 150 k miles anything to look out for when viewing??

Thanks

Brilliant cars, built like tanks, 24 valve 2.5 is a strong performer and reasonably economical, arguably the pick of the range. Suspension/steering bushes and links get sloppy with age and steering gets vague though. Two mates ran them for years, both loved them.

could the 1991 one be an M20 12 valve??

Solid car, ran a 520i for a year. Very very decent.

Not sure how they are going value wise, what's the T&T situation on it?

Very well built cars but they eat front suspension!

Also check for overheating/coolant loss and any other leaks?
